We still have some uncertainty as to the way we are showing how certain
branches of this family interconnect with others. We have been greatly
helped by input from a site visitor RS, 19/24.01.05 who provided us with
the results of his research into the International Genealogy Index. However,
whilst the IGI can very helpful, it is notorious for occasionally including
unproven assumptions and thereby sometimes discrediting itself. As with
a number of sources eg the Visitations, we take the view that it would
be silly to ignore the IGI but that it would be unwise to follow it when
another source contradicts it provided, of course, that that other source
has some credibility itself.
2 The IGI and various web sites refer to the next few generations as 'of Sandon'. However, some other web sites mention Bromshull, spelled variously as Bromshall or Bromshill or Bramshall or Bramshill. BE1883 Stafford of Suthwik and Devon starts with Sir John, son of William of Bromshull "and a descendant of Hervey Bagot and Milicent Stafford" who are shown on Stafford01 as great-parents of the following William. BE1883 also shows that Sir John's younger son Ralph was, by Margaret Stafford, ancestor of the Staffords of Grafton. The IGI and various web sites show that Ralph as son of Sir John of Sandon. |

| St22 | Sir Humphrey Stafford b about 1350 IGI
shows this Sir Humphrey as third son of Edmund de Stafford, 1st Lord. BE1883
shows him as the heir of Sir John son of William of Bromshull and elder
brother of the Ralph who was ancestor of the Staffords of Grafton and also
those of Blatherwycke. We follow BE1883 which identifies his wife merely
as daughter and heir of _ Greinvill. IGI identifies her as ...
