Sorry I didnt answer your question. Yes, Familysearch Pilot and the IGI at Familysearch are very reliable as they are transcribed/extracted from Original Parish Registers.
The IGI also has submitted entries by Family researchers that are just often a guess. These are submitted not extracted records.
When you are getting back that far entries are sometimes hard to decypher though.

Thankyou for explaining!

Yes i am supposedly descended from Mathew (Matthew) Dancer who is the son of Joesph who supposedly  married Dorcas Stevens who would then be Mathew's mother.
 
Mathew (the son) born 1668-1701 married to Elizabeth Sherwood.  In the tree i have Joesph Dancer listed as his father and Matthew Dancer (b 1588) listed as his grandfather.

My tree goes like this:

My GGparents are Reuben Pizzey and Mary Ann timberlake 1852-1917

It is on the Timberlake side we run into the Dancers

we have James Timberlake 1821-1884

His father James Timberlake 1796-1861

His father Mathew Timberlake 1755-1796

His father Thomas Timberlake 1732-1759

His father William Timberlake 1695-1775 who is the one who marries Mary Dancer b. 30 Jul 1696  Monks, Buckinghamshire, , Englad  d. 1780  Saunderton, Buckinghamshire, , England 

Mary's father is Mathew Dancer b. 1668,13 Nov  Risborough, Buckinghamshire, , England d.1701 married to Ellizabeth Sherwood b. 1670


With Joesph |dancer and Dorcas Stevens as parents maybe?

A more accurate Dancer family tree has been carried out using 50 years worth of good old research by Michael Dancer. His link can be found here(Though, please quote his name if you use the info at all:
https://alvecote.net/dancer-family-history-2/

I do have Dorcas and Joseph on my tree too. Do they lead to royalty? I haven't found any definite links yet although they were land owners. There has been yeoman, husbandman and gents found and there is a William Dancer esq, though how he fits, I'm not sure yet.

Hope this helps. :)
