Inheriting the Earth: The Long family’s 500 year reign in Wiltshire

Described by the BBC in 2011 as ‘one of the most powerful dynasties in England’, the Long family of Wiltshire derived enormous power and prestige from land ownership.

Ambitious and power-hungry, they became Wiltshire’s administrative and political backbone, taking a prominent role throughout the turbulent reigns of the Tudors and Stuarts.

‘Trusty and welbeloved’ by Henry VIII, the early knights in the family were rewarded handsomely for their loyalty.  But there was no love lost between Charles I and Sir Walter Long, imprisoned in the Tower for his role in the most infamous event in Parliament’s history.

The Longs endured despite a family curse, a bitter feud, murder, civil war, treasonous plots and the biggest scandal of the Georgian era. One hundred years later their empire was little more than a crumbling ruin.

Spanning five centuries, more than a dozen monarchs and a revolution in land ownership, Inheriting the Earth explores the forces and characters that shaped a once powerful family.

Inheriting the Earth: The Long family’s 500 year reign in Wiltshire (Hobnob Press) is now available on Amazon.

Could someone please look up the 1871 census for Henry TAYLOR, married,

possibly b. about 1826 in London,  living at Leamington.

Occupation Carpenter

Many thanks

Could someone please kindly look up the 1841 census for George CHURCH b. about 1828 in Lambeth. His occupation was later a carman.

Info from marriage cert states his father was William CHURCH who in 1850 was a porter.

This is not much to go on, I'm assuming George was in London, as he married there. Father possibly born out of county.

Any CHURCH family in London (or Surrey?) with a father William & son George around that age would be of interest.

Many thanks

Could someone please look up the British phone books for Morton DANIEL, address 15 Neverne Mansions, Earls Court, London, or anyone with the surname DANIEL at that address around 1920-35-ish.

Possibly an Elizabeth M E DANIEL, and/or Morton M E DANIEL.

Thank you
