Book Description
One of the various family legends says that two German brothers came to England with William the Conqueror and set up home at Gwersyllt near Wrexham which, like most legends, contains an element of truth. When the family first appears on the pages of recorded history, eventually to adopt the name of de Leyis (Lee) and variants, they were living in the hamlet of Calton near Edensor and Bakewell. Their house was in sight of Lindop Wood and from where Robert de Leyis, son of Henry de Leyis changed his name to de Lindop for reasons that remain a mystery. Clearly, he was the first to adopt that surname and therefore this book charts the Lindop Family name back to its origins. The author follows the family as it moved from Derbyshire to Wybunbury in Cheshire and then through that County to his own branch of the family which operated a draper's shop in Chester. He also traces the Lindops who were fishmongers in Liverpool and discovers other miscellaneous fragments of the family history.
