Richardsons of Derbyshire

Legg inn av KevRic » 13 jul 2006 12:04:25

I am researching my Richardson ancestors from Thulston, in the Parish
of Elvaston, Derbyshire.

I have an extensive list of documents from late 16th century onwards
which indicate that the Richardsons moved to Thulston arround 1560 -
1570.

After 1571 they were major landowners in Thulston (Elvaston Parish),
which I know from the "Fifteenths and Tenths" taxation records, and
also from a number of indentures dated early 17th century. In the
indentures, John Richardson (d 1627) was noted as a gentleman, which
makes me wonder whether there are any mentions in the early visitations
for Derbyshire.

I have checked the 1662-1664 visitations, which are readily available
on CD, but with no luck. However by this time the Richardsons had
declined in status, having sold much of their lands.

I have found reference to earlier visitations for Derbyshire dated 1569
& 1611.

University of London
Pedigrees contained in the visitations of Derbyshire 1569 & 1611,
Exeter
William Pollard, [18--]".

I do not have access to these visitation documents, as I am located in
Australia.

I would be very interested to hear from anyone who can get access to
these visitations, and from anyone else researching families in the
Elvaston area of Derbyshire (not just Richardsons)
