My dear Henry

I have not attained any satisfactory results by my search in Worcestershire. I have had the parish repositories of Feckenham, Hanbury, Wickenford, Salwarp, Frankley & Hales Owen searched, but cannot find any register of Sherington Talbots <1> marriage, with Elizth Leighton. In Hanbury Church is the entry

A.D. 1603. Thomas Leighton Nuptiæ & Mary Zouch 4 March.

A.D. 1608 Edvardus Leighton baptd 28 Mar

A.D. 1609 Thomas Leighton baptd 26 Mar

1610 Will. Leighton

1611 Charles

1624 Edvardus Leighton Mrrd Maria Stanlye

In Frankley church is the entry of marriage between Charington Talbot and Jane Littleton dated 1627 not 1634 as your acct gives.

In Salwarp

1666 John Talbot of Oakeley buried

1601 Olave Talbot

1695 Sir Gilbert Talbot of Lacock, Knight

The descent from Mary Zouch seems impossible – the dates interfere too much in her marriage 1603 and Sherington Talbots with Jane Littleton in 1627. It is probable that Elizth Leighton was married in Shropshire, as that is the seat of the family –

Yours ever truly

C R M Talbot
