PARISH REGISTER EXTRACTS,
From Barby, Maidwell, Pytchley, and Rothwell, co. Northampton, and from Stoneleigh, co. Warwick.
These commence, with the exception of Stoneleigh, earlier than
the date of the now [1907] existing registers.
Sir Justinian Isham, fifth Baronet of Lamport, co.
Northampton, (born 1687 ; died 1737) compiled a very valuable
book of notes relating to the history and genealogy of the county.
In it are notes from old books, extracts from parish registers and wills,
and a variety of genealogical material, much of it
concerning his own family and the families with which he was
connected. There are extracts from twelve parish registers
in Northamptonshire, viz., Barby, Braunston, Brixworth,
Faxton, Hannington, Lamport, Maidwell, Pytchley, Rothwell,
Scaldwell, Walgrave and Wold, and from one such in Warwickshire,
viz. Stoneleigh. In the case of four of the Northamptonshire
parishes (Barby, Maidwell, Pytchley, and
Rothwell) the early registers are now lost. Sir Justinian's
copy of these is therefore extremely valuable. The extracts
are printed here, just as he wrote them.
BARBY.
In the time of John Bridges (born 1666 ; died 1724), these
registers began in 1558 [Northamptonshire, vol. i., 25]. George
Baker, however, in his history of that county, published in
1830 [vol. i., p. 265] states that
"all the early volumes have
been lost or destroyed through subsequent negligence ; and
the present series does not commence till 1748." The manor
of Barby was bought by Gregory Isham early in the reign of
James I. He was a grandson of Euseby Isham of Pytchley.
The extracts given chiefly relate to the families of Isham and
Holled, three of the Holled family, all having the Christian
name of Knightley, having been rectors, 1677 — 1700, 1701 — 1755, and 1755 — 1794. A full pedigree of the family of Isham
Page 4
is in the genealogical volume entitled
"Northamptonshire
Families" of the "Victoria History of the Counties of England."

MAIDWELL.
This parish Register, according to Bridges' Northamptonshire
[vol. ii., 48], began in 1570. The now (1907) existing one
dates from 1708. The extracts given relate chiefly to the family
of Haselwood who bought Maidwell in the time of Henry VIII.
(Bridges, vol. ii., 46), and to that of Osborne of Kelmarsh.
Besides the account in Bridges' Northamptonshire (vol. ii, 39-42, and 46-49) a good pedigree of the family of Haselwood,
of Maidwell, &c., is in the Genealogist [orig. series] vol. i.,
43-54, and one of Osborne, of Kelmarsh, in the Visitations
of Northamptonshire 1564 and 1618, ed. by W. C. Metcalfe
(1887) pp. 39 and 122.

PYTCHLEY.
This parish register, according to Bridges' Northamptonshire
[vol. ii., 124], began in 1568. The now (1907) existing
one dates from 1695. The extracts given relate chiefly to the
families of Isham and Washbourne. Almost certainly tracing
their descent from the manorial family of Isham of Isham
(the neighbouring village), the Ishams made Pytchley their
Page 12
home from about the I3th century. In the I7th century the
manor passed to Anne Lane, wife of William Lane, Esq., of
Glendon, and granddaughter of Sir Euseby Isham, who built
the manor house here. It is curious to note that there is no
Isham monument in Pytchley Church. See, as to the Isham
family,
"Some Notes on Sir Euseby Isham and his Virginian
Descendants"
(Mitchell and Hughes, London 1898), and also
page 3, above, under "Barby."
The Washbournes, coming out of Worcestershire, probably
bought the manor from the Lanes. There are several of their
monuments in the chancel of Pytchley, including even a monument
of earlier date, which they brought with them out of their
own county. Some notice of this family, besides what is given
in Bridges' Northamptonshire, vol. ii., 125, is given in
Burke's Commoners (1838) vol. iii., pp. 621, 622. For pedigrees
of the families of Turville and Cave see the Visitation of
Leicestershire 1619, and in particular the short pedigree
therein on page 133, which also explains the connection with
Marbury.
A history of
"The Washbourne family of Washbourne and
Wichenford" has been written by the Rev. James Davenport,
M.A., vicar of Wichenford. [Methuen, 1907].
The families of Barker were numerous. They and the Ishams
intermarried more than once, and it is difficult to disentangle
the various relationships.

ROTHWELL.
This parish register, according to Bridges' Northamptonshire [vol. ii.,
62], began in 1614. The now (1907) existing one
dates from 1708. The principal families in this parish in the
I7th and 18th centuries were those of Lambe, Hill, Lane, and
Lant. The family of Hill and their descendants have now
been connected therewith for nearly 300 years, the Rev. John
Hill, M.A. (afterwards Rector of Holdenby and Vicar of Rothwell)
having married, 25 July 1626, Susan, daughter of Edward
Lambe of Rothwell, niece and heir of Sir John Lambe, of Rothwell,
Dean of the Arches, on whose death, in 1647, she inherited
a considerable estate there. On the death, 21 Feb., 1808 (aged
92) of her great-grandson, George Hill, Serjeant-at-Law, Lord
of the manor of Rothwell, this estate devolved on his daughter,
Barbara, wife of the Hon. William Cockayne. This lady
(then the Hon. Barbara Cockayne-Medlycott) died a widow
2 June 1838, aged 85, and was buried, with her ancestors, in
Rothwell Church. An account of the family of
"Hill of Rothwell, co. Northampton," is in the Genealogist, N.S., vol. xv
pp. 103, 178, and 228. It was, however, written before the
entries, which are before 1708, in this parish register were known
of and they should be incorporated with it, as also should be the
marriage by licence at Desborough, 25 July, 1626 of the said
Rev. John Hill, as "John Hill, de Lester, generosus & Mrs.
Susan Lambe de Rothwell," and the baptism at Waddington,
Page 17
co. Lincoln 27 Sept. 1715 of the above-named George Hill
[the future Serjeant-at-Law] son of the Rev. Nathaniel Hill
(d. 1731 aged 61), son of Edward Hill (d. 1705 aged 69), son of
the said Rev. John Hill (d. 1669), all of Rothwell.
As to the family of Lane of Glendon (a village without a
church in the vicinity of Rothwell) there is a good pedigree down
to about 1660 in the Appendix to the Visitations of Northamptonshire,
1564 and 1618, edited by W. C. Metcalfe in 1887,
besides much information as late as 1694 in the monumental
inscriptions in Bridges' Northamptonshire, vol. ii., pp. 64, 65
The family of Lant, of Thorpe Underwood, a hamlet of Rothwell,
became possessed thereof by inheritance from Richard
Andrew, Lord of that manor, who died 1654 aged 74. On the
death of Andrew Lant, 17 Jan. 1694-5, aged 56, it appears to
have devolved on Sarah, one of his three daughters and coheirs,
who married in July, 1705, Sir John Humble, 4th baronet
[1660] and died his widow Oct. 1739. Her son Sir William
Humble, 5th baronet, died Oct. 1742 and was succeeded by
his son Sir John Humble, 6th and last baronet, on whose death
at the age of 6 years, 6 Feb. 1744-5 that title became extinct.
All the persons mentioned in this paragraph were buried at
Rothwell.

his collection those from Stoneleigh, which may be interesting
also as having been taken about or before 1730, and before
there was any thought of the
"Leigh Peerage"
case.
