I'm a descendant of Corbett Whitton b. 1823 and Elizabeth Mary Roper b. 1820. I've traced back the Roper side but do not have any Whitton information prior to Corbett Whitton, my great-great-grandfather of Greens Norton Park, Northamptonshire, England. Does anyone know who Corbett Whitton's mother and father were? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Best, Kory Dear Margaret Hurren, Chris Whitton and Chris Lucas.

Your G-G Grandmother, Elizabeth Whitton appears on our tree as a daughter of George Whitton and Elizabeth Franklin. Apart from the fact that Elizabeth married William Eagles, we do not have any information about her descendants so it would be great to make contact with you, and exchange information. Chris Lucas and I live in New Zealand and have been sharing information for some time. I an be contacted at dmhurren@slingshot.co.nz.

Elizabeth Whitton's father was George Whitton (Farmer) born 1791 in Sulgrave. With many thanks, Kate Garrett Dear Christopher Whitton and Chris Lucas, I am also tracing Whitton’s in Sulgrave and would be interested to know if Great Great Grandmother Elizabeth Whitton b.1822 Sulgrave who married William Eagles in 1846 appears on either of your Whitton trees?

I think that his father was Alexander Munro of Portmahomack Rosshire. He was the nephew of my Grandfather Peter Simpson Munro. I am in contact with Sandys cousins Nicholas and Ian Munro who both reside in England. I am constructing a family tree which is available on www.genesreunited.co.uk as is Nicholas and Ian and we have just found each other in the last couple of weeks. We know Sandy had 2 brothers Ian and Eric (in California) but we are trying to fill in blank spaces in the tree. I am hoping that someone who sees this will bring it to the attention of Sandys family as we have family photographs they may be interested in as well as loads of relatives they may not know exist. I can be contacted at inmyseat@ntlworld.com Thank You. I have just had the privilege of reading the obituary to Alick “Sandy” Munro formerly of Glasgow Scotland.

I have been to Sulgrave several times during visits to the UK, and twice met Mr Sirot-Smith who has been very helpful. He has many Whitton documents stored at the manor, for example a rent agreement between Thomas Whitton and Margery Trist, Anthonie Wattes, John Watts for Sulgrave Manor (70 acres land, 6 acres meadow, 40 acres pasture, 4 acres wood and 10 acres furze and heath) for 23 s. If this sort of thing interests you I have it all digitaised. Let me know your address and I will send you a CD. My great cousin. Marget Hurren, has a family tree going back to 1462. Thomas Whitton, d1632, married Thomasina Dry. His descendents seem a bit confusing and uncertain to me - there are alot of Thomases! My descent is from Corbett Whitton, bap1671, d1729 Sulgrave. I have done quite alot on the Whitton connection with Leesons, and sent an email to Mr Sirot-Smith about this last month. No reply as yet.

My great uncle Tom prepared a genealogy of the Whitton family who lived at Sulgrave, one of whom (also Thomas - died 1632) has a large 'altar' tomb in the churchyard along with all the other 'Whittons'. My great uncle indicated that a Thomas Whitton owned one of the manors (Leeson Manor)in the parish of Sulgrave. There is I understand still a field called the Whitton Dairy Ground. The family joke is that the Whittons were fairly well-to do and Catholic and presumably royalist but within one generation were protestant and no longer classified as 'gentlemen'! It took two more generations for that to be rectified! Probably all hearsay. I have the full genalogy plus some very interesting material from Mr Sirot-Smith who indicated that there is much more material probably available locally. If a message can be passed to the Vicar in case he is interested I would be very grateful. I am a direct descendant of the Thomas Whitton mentioned above.

My family, the Pettifers, come from Helmdon as far back as late 17th C but may have lived elsewhere prior to that date. I am doing a `trawl` of villages close by to see if the family name is recorded on old tombstones etc. I live in Northumberland but can be reached by e-mail. Does this name feature in any old documents? I would love to hear from anyone who can help. Hi,
