Pickerings of Kirklington – Pickerings of Yorkshire

Francis and his son Lancelot appear on the first page of the Kirklington parish registers, suggesting that the family was already established in the area in 1568. It is possible that the Kirklington Pickerings descend from the Pickerings of Killington who moved to Holt in Denbighshire, Wales, at the end of the 1400s. However, this hypothesis is based purely on the occurrence of the names Lancelot, Francis, Christopher and Anthony in both families. The first Francis of Kirklington was perhaps the son of Lancelot of Holt of the 11th generation. I have posted Kirklington Pickerings in the Killington blue in the hope that a link will be established.

The Pickerings of Kirklington seem to have died out after seven generations, unless some of their members carried on the line in other parishes.
