Someone is looking for information on the descendants of Sir George Downing and Downing Street in London. The title is long extinct. I don't know about current descendants. I found this: https://www.history.com/news/the-surprising-history-of-10-downing-street. If you have information please post it here.

Can’t help; my line is totally separate from Sir George Downing. Unless some common ancestor was building Stonehenge around 3000 B.C.

I am not aware of any descendants of Sir George. His line lasted three generations as I recall and then became extinct. The widow of the last in the line brought an action in about 1890 claiming money. It is reported in the English Reports. I can find it if anybody is interested. I am descended from one of his brothers.

I knew the title was extinct and I thought the line was also but I wasn't sure. I don't know how it works out with the one who married Winthrop, descendant or collateral.
