You're welcome - I know it gives a great buzz to discover something as dramatic as
that, but don't stop there.
The Cary tree supposedly goes back to Adam de Kari of 13th Century. There is quite a bit
of dissent over the earliest generations and their spouses, but there seems to be a fair
concensus from the time of Sir Philip Cary of Cockington who married Christina Orchard.
Hunt up Debrett's Complete Peerage, and Burke's Landed Gentry and Burke's
Commoners, especially the older editions and enjoy the discoveries!
I found my 4xg-grandmother in Royal Families of England, Scotland and Wales, and the
excitement and discoveries have been ongoing ever since. History is now personal - MY
family lines.
