I am trying to trace the early part of the family before they rose to become really prominent. Roughly speaking, that means pre-1600s. ................

Very useful, thank you Bev. Especially handy to know about Winifred. Maybe that clue will lead to more of a link. Could I trouble you for any further entries up to the mid 1600s?
