Is there a very experienced person who could help with accuracy on the Singleton family tree please in Norfolk/Suffolk. We are into the late 1400s and 1500s. Several people in my matches lists have named this family and descendants as Sirs and Lady's I am not yet convinced that there are not some errors and mix ups and would appreciate the advice of anyone who has carried out thorough competent research into this family and it's descendants.
Sources of this age are a bit beyond my ability to research and it is important to me as we are looking at confirming the identities of my 8th-11th great grandparents here so if there is a local historian who can advise, I will be very grateful. Tree details can be sent on rather than post all here. Thank you in hope, Jan

Elizabeth Cornwallis, Lady Kytson - Tate www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/gower-lady-kytson-n06091 Elizabeth Cornwallis, Lady Kytson (c.1547-1628) married Sir Thomas Kytson (1541-1603), of Hengrave Hall in Suffolk in 1560. Of their three children, a son John died in infancy in 1562. Their elder daughter Margaret married Sir Charles Cavendish of Welbeck in 1582, but died in childbirth the same year.

How does William Singleton connect with Elizabeth Cornwallis?
For those who may be uncertain, Blomefield is a place in Norfolk, and not, I think, a surname linked to the preceding ones

Don't know whether this helps, or not

Thank you Erika H, that looks really useful. I am trying from the top down now to see if the records coming towards the present day match up with those going back in time.
