Wow..the joys of family history is that you pick up and run for a while, hit some walls, back off, do other stuff and then come back to your research and suddenly there's new information to help clear things up...I'm in awe of the work you guys have done on the Mackinder tree!!

If I'm following this thread properly, the thinking now is that Artemas Mackinder (1562-1624) is now possibly/probably the BROTHER of Jacob Mackinder (1545-1606) rather than his son (also Robert Mackinder born c.1575) but we're still no closer to working out who the mystery MAckinder was who was married to Elizabeth Cropwell.

Again from the thread, I take it the common agreement is that Elizabeth remarries after the death of her Mackinder husband and that there is a possible will for her out there somewhere!?!

I've emailed the Lincoln archives today to see if they do digital copies of the wills/inventories as traveling to Lincoln myself is a bit unlikely (living in Wales so its not exactly an easy Saturday morning jaunt)

I've also downloaded the John Mackinder will as you guys suggested.

The background on the movement from Scotland seems to be too strong to resist, I suppose the only question remaining (which I fear we'll never know the answer to) who was the first Mackinder to remain permanently in Lincolnshire, is it our mystery "Unknown Mackinder" or someone earlier again.

Cheers Victor. Will have a look

Wondered if there was anyone else who has Hannah Davies in their records.  I've only just started on this branch of the family, but keep coming up against walls at the moment.

Any help/suggestions gratefully received.

Sorry, Hannah is a big brick wall on my tree too. All I have is her fathers name, which was James

Think so!
Found a google reference to a market in Cardigan town, called Pwllhai.
There's also a Gwbert Hotel in Cardigan!

Pwllhai is within Cardigan Town itself, along the riverbanks between the castle and the church (if I've got my bearings right)
