Notes about Maud Meyrick Gillett

-- GEDCOM (INDI) --
1 SOUR Book -  Reginald Cecil Lybbe Powys-Lybbe - 1 PERI Powys-Lybbe genealogy - 
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. - Gillett MS book
