Hi, I'm new to this board and I wonder if anyone is researching the Hansards in England prior to 1600. I am trying to find a connection to my 7g-grandfather William Walworth (c1646-1703), who I believe was originally one of the Hansards of Walworth Castle, County Durham, England. Does anyone know how I can contact Winnie Garrett, the author of the book I've seen mentioned here, Hansard-Hansford Family History, or anyone else who can provide details of the early family?

In return, I have a pedigree of this Hansard family covering 1189-1571, and if someone can provide me with details of the earliest known Hansard ancestor (c1560), I will be happy to see if he fits in. Rollin, could you please contact me directly? I've tried the email address you've used here and the one on your web page, but the emails are bouncing back at me.

Thanks,
