Little has been published about the Longford family since S P H Statham wrote a detailed genealogy in 1937. The present study, in two parts, aims to complete the Longford family history where Statham left it, and correct mistakes in the Longford pedigree from the 1569 and 1613 Herald’s Visitations of Derbyshire, which are confused for five consecutive generations occurring in the 15th century. These errors in the pedigree provide an important lesson for genealogists of the necessity to verify information from independent contemporary sources.
