Hi all, In the parish of Middle Claydon, the VERNEY family seemed to be one of the most influential/ controlling families. Was there such a family in WHADDON? Thank you Regards, Pat Wade (Nee King)
Hi Pat I've read some about the families at the 'big house' in Whaddon, but not researched them. I know there was Browne WILLIS (the Dragon of Whaddon) and the SELBY-LOWNDES crew. Not sure they had the same degree of expansionist verve as the VERNEYs though. Hope you'll let us know what you find out if you track them down.
