Fantastic article!
Thanks so much for sharing this Claire!
Really interesting article. Thanks for sharing.
Is Walter Cromwell. 1568. To 1632 a descendant of Thomas Cromwell. If so I’m a direct descendant.
I’m not sure, sorry! Thomas Cromwell had a son, Gregory, who had children, but there were other branches of the family too.
