    These are the various documents he left behing summarising his -
    researches. They included: -
    (1) His master tree of all families married by our forebears. -
    (2) His formal pedigree of the Powyses, in the style of Burke. -
    (3) His two pages of trees of various descents from medieval -
    royalty, including the Trotters back to the Scottish Stewarts. -
    (4) His trees of the recent Trotter marriages. -
    -
    Remarkably most of this has proved to be confirmed by publicly -
    available documents and some of it is a remarkable set of -
    findings. One or two errors have appeared, mainly where he got -
    the wrong wife as the ancestor. Perhaps only 20% of this -
    remains to be checked, principally the families married into by -
    the Trotters in the 18th and 19th centuries. -
    -
    However his besetting and frustrating fault is his almost -
    invariable omission of sources and similarly of dates. -
    -
    I suspect he relied heavily on Burke's Extinct Peerage, judging -
    by the heavily thumbed copy in APL's possession in 1999. But -
    there is also evidence that went to various libraries and paid -
    handsomely for primary documentary evidence of some 16th and -
    17th century families. -
    -
    Nevertheless most of my work has been to extend and verify his -
    enormous efforts. He really was a serious genealogist (like -
    Martin but who follows the stricter regime of the last quarter -
    of the 20th century) and I have considerable admiration for what -
    he found out.
