RICHES Family History

Descendants of John Riches

Note:~ The first few generations are prior to parish registers and therefore there are no official records of baptisms. Wills have been used where possible. Much of the data has been taken from Herald's Visitations which cannot be relied on for accuracy. This decendancy report is presented as the best guess to fit the available information. The alternative spelling Richers was often used, though for simplicity the later name Riches has ben used throughout.
