Okay, if at first you don't succeed . . . . . Richard WHALLEY b. ca 1544 Hinchinbrooke, Huntingdonshire, England Father: Thomas WHALLEY Mother: Elizabeth Hatfield md. Frances CROMWELL ca. 1573 It appears to me that this Thomas would be your oldest ancestor, Angela! C.

It may be worth mentioning that Hinchingbrooke was not a village or town, but a country house and estate. It is currently used as a school, a there is a lot of info on this site: http://www.hinchhouse.org.uk/ It was formerly the site of a Priory, which was dissolved by Henry VIII and given to Richard Cromwell, ancestory of Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector. What I find puzzling is why Richard Whalley who married Frances Cromwell, Oliver's aunt, should be born at Hinchingbrooke, since the Whalleys at that time lived at Screveton in Nottinghamshire. Brown's History of Nottinghamshire, on this site: http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/Brown1896/screveton.htm shows a picture of a Whalley monument iin Screveton church, and the quotation which appears in Rev. Sam. Whaley's book. The monument was erected to a Richard Whalley who died in 1584 by his widow. The text it says that this Richard was the grandfather of the Richard Whalley who married Frances Cromwell.
