It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.

1 No known connection has yet been found between the 2 families shown on this page. They share the page, possibly only temporarily, for convenience.
2 The first family in Cornwall is mainly as reported by the Harleian editor of the Visitation in a note which claims to provide "A more reliable pedigree" than that provided by the Heralds at the time of the Visitation.

m Frances x ?= Aylworth d 1540, was a lady of the privy chamber to Princess Mary Tudor from at least 1525 until 1533 and returned to her service in 1536.
She served as Mary's proxy when Mary was godmother to one of the children of Lord William Howard. In mid-July 1533, Thomas Cromwell wrote to Lord Hussey, Chamberlain of Mary's household, ordering him to have Mary’s jewels and plate inventoried and placed in the custody of Frances Aylmer. This did not happen. The countess of Salisbury, who was Lady Mistress of the household, refused to comply unless she received written orders from the king himself. Frances is probably the same Frances Aelmer whose will was proved March 21, 1540, since she makes reference in it to Sir William and Lady Butts (Margaret Bacon), who were also members of Mary's household. In a query to Notes and Queries in 1896, citing that will, the writer suggests that Frances might have been the mother of John Aylmer, Bishop of London (1520/21-June 3, 1594). This is certainly a possibility. The Oxford DNB
