-----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth Whitaker <[email protected]> >Not that I know of: according to what I've been able to find out, I'm descended from William, b. 1547, Lancashire, d.1595 in Cambridge: his sons, Alexander and Jabez went to Virginia at an early date, and I am descended from Jabez (1595-1624). However, an ancestor left Warwick in the 14th century and married a lord's daughter -- so goes this information -- thereby gaining the manor of Holme. > Hi Elizabeth, I am in England researching my Whittaker family and found your message very interesting, although mine are in the Nottinghamshire area from about 1796. Do you, or anyone else on the list, know where the "manor of Holm" is or was? I would also like to hear from anyone with Whit(t)aker connections in Notts., and am willing to share information. Best wishes to all, Ann
