Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Families of Skeet, Somerscales, Widdrington, Wilby, Murray, Blake, Grimshaw, and Others
I have as far as possible followed Burke's system in setting out the families, with a key pedigree at the commencement of each. A Roman numeral is placed in front of the head of each generation of each branch of a family. The name of the King or Queen precedes in most cases the Roman-numeral to give.a rough historical idea of the period. Each branch is in turn worked out to a finish, then a return is made to the'parent stock for a fresh one. For example, the descendants of Henry, 4th son of Richard Skete, do not come in until p. 49. Allied families are completed in their proper place, and although their insertion seem to some what interfere with the continuity of the original family, it was considered better than leaving them for Appendices.
