Richard Yearsley died 1464
« on: Wednesday 22 June 16 14:09 BST (UK) »
I have inherited a family tree that puts Richard Yearsley (died 1464) at the top of the tree. Does anyone have any real historical evidence of this person? On my tree, he has two sons, Robert Yearsley (died 1489) and William Yearsley (died 1482).

In order to go this far back would indicate a Titled or Noble family. The info. may have come from an Heraldic Visitation.
It's advisable to start with the last known fact you have on this family & work from there.
