The author used asterixes to indicate notes. Unfortunately 3 asterixes lack an explanation. They are located at: [Leicestershire, iv. pt. 2. p. 519.*] [Leicestershire, iii. pt. 2, p. 1009*] [ii. pt. i. p. *261;] The word [coheiress] also occurs with the notation [co-heiress]. Both notations have been maintained. The plain text file of this ebook uses underscores to indicate italic text and plus signs to indicate a bold Gothic typeface. Each family description starts with an illustration representing their arms. In the plain text file these have been replaced with [Illustration]. A few cases of punctuation errors were corrected, but are not mentioned here. ]
