Interesting that, Bernard, thank you, as the Washington family also had land and property in Warton, north Lancashire (3 miles from me) which they acquired c.1300 - the stars and stripes flies in Warton as a tribute to this and the local pub is named after George Washington. The Washingtons actually exchanged some land to the north of Kendal for some in Warton with one of the Docwras (my area of interest) some time in the 1400s, and married into the Stricklands who are also interlinked with the Docwras. One day I really must get to visit Sulgrave Manor!
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

I suspect Rush, having taken the trouble to research them, would have been faced with the same quandary, but decided on Beilby as the correct spelling.


 Hi All , I doubt very much if Rush was in any quandry over the spelling as there are many glasses that are signed by Beilby with this spelling.

Peter.
