Families covered: Rickards of Leicester, Rickards of Nottingham
| FMG starts with the following Arthur (minister of Hartshorne (Derbyshire), no dates or wife shown) father of Benjamin. BLG1952 also starts with Arthur, rector of Hartshorn (Derbyshire), dates given, father (by Rebecca Porter) of Samuel & Arthur. Whilst it is possible that they were different people, perhaps cousins of each other, we speculate that these Arthurs were the same person. The apparent confusion over Arthur, Mayor of Nottingham in 1694, appears to confirm that the lines covered by BLG1952 & FMG were, at the very least, very closely connected to each other. | |||||||||||||||
