This is for Franklin Rembert and Debbie Spencer. Following my letter on the history of the Early Hydes of Lancashire and Cheshire in which I said that the sources were readily available, I have been asked for details of those sources. I enclose a list of several book titles which would give a comprehensive background to much of that history. These are my suggestions. I regret that I cannot supply details from the many hours and weeks of personal research in Record Offices, Libraries, Parish Records and yet more printed local history booklets which are privately owned.
