How far back can I even imagine?

Well, I saw someone had posted a list going back to Charlemagne.  I think that's a bit far, and not really necessary.  So I didn't copy it.

I'm going to use the earliest dates that mother's might have been born, which still pushes the believability of when their first children were supposedly born (at least 13 years old.)  What a dither, and I won't let it sidetrack me.

So our last male in the line was

Thomas De Ferrers (Baron of Groby) Sir

1395–1458

BIRTH 1395 • Groby, Leicestershire, ENGLAND

DEATH 6 JAN 1458/59 • Groby, Leichestershire, ENGLAND

His father was

William Ferrers

1372–1445

BIRTH 25 APRIL 1372 • Luton, Luton Borough, Bedfordshire, England

DEATH 18 MAY 1445 • Woodham Ferrers, Chelmsford Borough, Essex, England

His wife was:

Philippa Clifford Ferrers

1374–1405

BIRTH 1374 • Appleby-in-Westmorland, Eden District, Cumbria, England

DEATH 4 JULY 1405 • Appleby-in-Westmorland, Eden District, Cumbria, England

And from UK Find a Grave, we can add this information about her:

If these parents are correct, I've got 18th great grandparents...and one sounds definitely French!
