"History of Colston Bassett"

Legg inn av Richard Smyth at Road Run » 25 sep 2005 20:11:00

Is anybody on this list familiar with "A History of Colston Bassett, Nottinghamshire" by Rev. Evelyn Young, edited by T. M. Blagg (Thoroton Society Record Series, Volume 9, 1942)? If so, do they care to offer an opinion about the accuracy of the genealogical claims made in it? I am particularly curious about the ancestry it offers for the Basset's of Drayton in Chapter 3, which can be read on-line at:

I know that several who post here are our resident experts on the Basset's of Drayton.

It has many errors, the first most obvious one is the Ralph who
allegedly died at the Battle of Evesham with a son who died in 1209.
It leaves out numerous generations.

There is a typographical error here. 1209 should be 1299.

Lord Basset of Drayton, M.P., 1295-1299
