Both
Familiae Minorum Gentium and
Lincolnshire Pedigrees start with this John Gylby of West Ravendale, but an earlier pedigree is provided in the
Visitation of Lincolnshire (1562-1564). The usual caveats apply to such early pedigrees, and no dates or spouses names are given, so the value is limited. For completeness, the pedigree is:
This John<-Thomas<-John<-Thomas<-Nicholas<-Richard<-Thomas Gylby of Ashby juxta Partney and Spilsby [born in early 1300s probably]
The Visitation of LIncolnshire, reported in
The Genealogist, has a slightly different succession:
This John<-Thomas<-John<-John<-Thomas<-Nicholas<-Richard<-Thomas Gylby of Ashby juxta Partney and Spilsby
Having no documentary evidence of this line beyond the visitation itself, I'll stop my tree at John the subject of this page.
