Families covered: Manning of Diss, Manning of Downe, Manning of St. Mary Cray, Manning of Stanbury, Manning of Starston, Manning of Warbleton
Several different lines are shown below but it is thought likely that most if not all of them descend from a common ancestor with one of the Kent line shown first. This family is still under investigation but we thought the page (just) worthy enough not to be treated as Draft.
