My question is on the ancestry of William Apreece of Washingley (c1505-1574) who married Elizabeth Latimer before 1522. I have found several accounts of his ancestry but little in agreement. His father and paternal grandfather seem reasonable (Robert, d. 1555, son of Isaac), but things get murky beyond that. The name Apreece seems to be derived from ap Rhys/Rhese. According to Carl Boyer, Isaac was the son of "Inon" (?Einion)or John who was b. 1325, son of Mathew who was b. c1300,and Alice Malaphant of Upton. Mathew was, acc. to Boyer, son of Thomas Wogan, b. 1270, & Isabel de Londres. Thomas was son of Walter Wogan, b. 1230, & Margaret Stanton, and so on back through Wogans to Dryffin, b. c1000, & Crisli ferch Iago, without a Rhys in sight. Stirnet at least gave me a Rhys, saying that Mathew, b.c1300, was son of Einion Sais, alive in 1271, & Lleucu? ferch Hywel. Einion was son of Rhys ap Hywel of Aberllynfi & Catrin ferch Gruffyd ap Gwyr. A lengthy pedigree is given for this Rhys, apparently to Tewdwr Mawr in the 11th C. Anyone? Bronwen Edwards
