[This page was first prepared using BP1934 & BEB1844. On 05.07.09 it was redone to take into account BIRF1976 & BP2003.]
| (1) BP2003 mentions that this family's name "is spelled variously MANSEL, MANSELL, MAUNSELL and even MANSFEELD well into the 17th century". (2) BP2003 starts its article on this family with: "The origins of this family ... are not easily pinpointed." BP2003 leaves out the first few generations shown here which come from BIFR1976 & BP1934. BEB1841 identifies the following Sir Philip as progenitor of the family through his eldest son Henry but then jumps several generations to Sir John (a 1247). BIFR1976, which provides more detail on the early generations than the other sources, shows no such uncertainty. Nevertheless, in case its compiler was too hasty in assuming the connection between later generations and earlier ones (through Sir John), we show the first few generations in italics. |
