John Wilkinson Family Tree
Extras
Because
of
the
number
of
people
in
the
tree,
it
is
not
possible
to
cover
all
branches,
so
I
have
concentrated
on
some
direct
lines
and
tried
to
keep
to
children
and
siblings
within
these
lines.
There
are
some
families
who
entered
the
tree
several
generations
back
who
were
‘A’
listers
in
their
day,
and,
because
of
their
importance,
had
acquired
lots
of
information
in
Burks
Peerage
and
other
historical
documents.
The
families
I
have
decided
to
enter
in
the
website
are
Swinburnes,
Tempests
and
Widdringtons.
I
think
that
the
Grays
as
in
Earl
Gray
tea
might
also
come
into
this
category but I have not researched this yet.
A
further
page
lists
how
many
grandparents
everyone
has
in
each
generation.
For
example
Roger
Thornton
who
died
in
1429
is
my
16xGGrandfather,
and
he
is
one
of
131,072
16xGGrandfathers
and
Richard
Tempest,
my
24xGGrandfather
is
one
of
33,
554,
432
24xGGrandfathers.
I
think
whatever
DNA
will
be
well
diluted
before
it
gets
to my generation.
The drawing above was given to me by a good friend, Norman Jones. I’m pleased he found out where Hesleyhurst is
