Pilkington - additions to RPA and MCA

Legg inn av John Higgins » 14 mai 2006 20:58:02

Some digging into the sources cited in the recent thread on the Pilkington family indicates some likely additions to the recently published "Plantagenet Ancestry" and "Magna Carta Ancestry" giving descents for this family.

Both RPA and MCA list Katherine Pilkington as the wife of John Lowe of Denby and thus the mother of Maryland immigrants Col. Nicholas Lowe and Col. Henry Lowe. Katherine is shown as the daughter of Sir Arthur Pilkington, [1st] Baronet, of Stanley, Yorkshire, and his wife Ellen, dau. of Henry Lyon of Roxby, but no further ancestry beyond the parents is given for Katherine.

However, it appears that Sir Arthur had Plantagenet ancestry and Magna Carta ancestry through his paternal grandmother Barbara Reresby. Barbara's great-grandparents (Ralph Reresby and Margaret Fitzwilliam) and great-great-grandparents (Ralph Reresby and Agnes Stapleton) are listed in either or both of RPA and MCA, but descendants of these marriages are not listed.

Sir Arthur may also have similar ancestry through his paternal grandfather Thomas Pilkington of Nether Bradley, but this is more problematic as it depends on connections which are somewhat conjectural (for example, the Fitzwilliam ancestry of the Savile family).

Speaking of corrections and additions to RPA and MCA, I wonder whatever happened to the website pages for such items that were promised by the books' author last September:

"I hope to have the page up and running within the month. There will be one for Plantagenet Ancestry, and one for
Magna Carta Ancestry." [DR, 9-17-2005]
