| BE1883 mentions Sir Robert and identifies his wife as Genette, heiress of Butterwicke, and then jumps to the Sir Robert who was Speaker of House of Commons. Peck provides the intervening generations (as shown). However, We are not convinced by it, not least because the parents of the Speaker are not as reported by HoP ("Robert Sheffield") and the date for the connection to the/an heiress of Butterwick does appear to be of a later generation. However, there were different estates around Butterwick so it is quite possible that there were members of this family in that area before there was a marriage with a Butterwick heiress. We show the intervening generations reported by Peck but do so in italics to indicate our lack of faith in them and show an incomplete descent as an alternative. | |||||||||||||||
