Hello: One Robert Markham (c.1540) is said to be born in Sireston. I need to be quite sure, would this be Syerston ?. See him here: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Markham-1143 . Would someone like to better translate the Latinatus text there for me ?. I don't get any posts from this list any more for some reason, as well as some others. Cheers - Bart. [!!!] ....

Hello Bart.  Translation of the following text: Robertus Markham armiger annorum 75 obit apud Winckborne 22 Novembris et sepultus fuit sequenti die viz 23 apud Cottham cum predecessoribus suis juxta Newarke. An Dni 1606 Robert Markham knight died age 75 at Winkburn 22 November and was buried with his forebears the following day (namely the 23rd) at Cotham near Newark.  In the year of Our Lord 1606.

Hi Bart All the lists seem quite quiet to me. Everyone is perhaps on their holidays? I can't translate all the Latin, for sure, but I think you are right. He was 75 years, and died on 22nd November 1606 in Winkborn and was buried on the next day - that is 23rd - in Cottham with his forefathers near Newark. It also says he is 'armiger' which means, I think, he bore arms- that is he he was entitled to a coat-of arms. You could contact the College of Arts for more details. They have records going back at least as far as 1066. http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/ Margaret On 23/07/2016 00:33, Bart Simon via wrote: > Hello: One Robert Markham (c.1540) is said to be born in Sireston.

'Morning Bart, My Lincolnshire directory lists Syston, Syston Grange, Syston Hall, Syston Park and Lake. All these are in the south of the county, just north of Grantham (and belton Park etc.). I suspect this would be the place you need. Rex

Agreed - Syerston Notts. I was thinking Lincolnshire, and obviously got it wrong. Sorry - but it looks established now.
