In the 1800’s my great-great-grandfather, Charles Massey, squashed his family history into half a page. In so doing he left out several names, dates and places, and got others wrong! ! ! ! So, I am trying to pick up the pieces! If anyone can shed any light on the following I would be so grateful:
(Approximately mid-1700’s)
“My Mother’s grandfather on the mother’s side was Mr Richard Warren, next heir at law to the property of Sir John Warren. He married a Miss Wetnall of the Cheshire family – Sir John Warren’s sister married Lord Buckley.
Mr Richard Warren, next heir, and related to Sir John Warren, ran away with his wife when a girl, from a Boarding School, and marrying contrary to the wishes of Sir John Warren, he would not leave him the property, on account of his marrying beneath himself, although she was of excellent family in Cheshire.”
(Background)
Charles Massey’s mother was Elizabeth Morris, and her mother was Elizabeth Warren (daughter of the above Richard), who married Thomas Morris of Ribbesford, Worcs at St Peter Cornhill, London in March 1782. They had two sons and Elizabeth, and then Thomas died. His widow married Robert Meek, and had three more sons. I don’t have birth and death dates or places for Elizabeth Warren/Morris/Meek
Thank you to anyone who can help me,
Alpha.

Thank you so much for your help, mshrsh. It was more helpful than you realised as the Cheshire visitations website put me on to more possible ancestors. And now I know that Miss Warren married Lord Bulkley, not Buckley. I will have to do some more investigations tomorrow (Thursday New Zealand time) to see if I can find out if those Warrens are also "mine", or just one of gt-gt-grandfather's red herrings.
Cheers,
Alpha
