EXPLANATIONS.
DIRECT ANCESTORS of the children whose ancestors are here traced
are printed in CAPITAL LETTERS.
MARRIAGES
of ancestors are denoted hy the names of the husband and
wife being separated by a horizontal straight line, as in Betham's ' Genealogical
Tables.'
NUMBERS
The preceding the names of ancestor denote the number of
GENERATIONS from the children up to the ancestor, or from the ancestor
down to the children.
Where there are several lines of descent from a given ancestor, the number in descent in the
male line is given, and where this affords no guide, as where descent is traced through two or more
daughters and not through any son, then the lowest numher is given. The numbers of husband and
wife do not always correspond, as sometimes the wife is a nearer ancestress through her children by
another marriage.
The APPEOXIMATE DATE OF BIRTH of auy named ancestor can be ascertained by
multiplying the number preceding his or her name by 33 (the average date of birth of any given
child), and deducting this sum from 1880 (the year of the marriage of the parents numbered 1).
The result gives the following Table:
A.D. A.D.
Ancestors numbered 4 were born about 1748 Ancestors numbered 20 were born about 1220
5 „ 1715 21
6 „ 1682 22 „ 1154
7 „ 1649 23 „ 1121
8 „ 1616 24 „ 1088
9 „ 1583 25 „ 1055
10 „ 1550 26 „ 1022
11 „ 1517 27 989

17 „ 1319 40 560
18 „ 1286

Allowances must be made for there being often several lines of descent, which would give different
numbers.
Descents through females being on an average quickerthan through males (on account of their
marrying earlier), where lines are traced chiefly THROUGH FEMALES the date of birth will
average LATER than that indicated by the above Table, and where the lines are traced chiefly
THROUGH MALES the date of birth will average EARLIER; and so where a line runs through
several younger children consecutively the date of birth will average EARLIER than in the case of
a line whichruns THROUGH ELDER CHILDREN.
Each Table comprises all the male descendants of a common ancestor, sometimes divided into
Parts by numbers, as Table 171, Part 1 ; Table 171, Part 2.
Tables numbered with letters added, as 15a, are distinct Tables. Takingthisinto consideration
thereare228distinctTables, someofwhich, however,compriseseveraldistinctfamiliesunitedthrough
females. Tables towhich £ is added, as 15i, are mere extracts from Tables which occur later on.

KEY to the DIVISION INTO PARTS and ORDER OE THE TABLES:
The principle of which is to keep the Four Families of the G-randparents separate, and, generally,
est tracing female ancestry, to trace the most distant female ancestry in each family
FIRST, AS IN THE Law OF SUCCESSION TO EEAL ESTATE UPON INTESTACY.
