Hi Celia, Thank you for this. I had family in Middle Claydon and reading about the VERNEY family I found out a little more about the life of my family. Very interesting. Thought maybe I would be lucky with my family in WHADDON/ NASH. I shall endeavour to forward on if I do come up with anything. Your help is very much appreciated.

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.

Was there such a family in WHADDON?
