I am working on the English origins of Nathaniel Page, immigrant ancestor of the Page line that lived in Bedford for 200 years and is associated with the Bedford Flag. Has anyone researching this Nat Page found anything other than the conventional story passed down by Charles Nash Page that he was born in Plymouth, England? I have visited the Devon Record Office and find no Nathaniel in birth or marriage records or births of his children. Similarly, the old family tree printed by Charles Lauriat in the early part of this century puts him on the great Page Estate in Middlesex, England but my research in that family shows no Nathaniel (and no Elmira Whitecliffe!) in the mid 1600's. I live not two miles from the old Page Homestead and it is part of my job to show the Bedford Flag to visitors. Fascinated by the story, I have written a book about it, but still have no clue as to where Natty hailed from. (Last summer looked for him in Lincolnshire, and am presently trying to ferret him out in Essex from whence came a big batch of Pages... But no joy as yet.) Anybody got any clues?
