The Puckerings of Sledmere most likely descend from John Puckering who was born c1510 in Painsthorpe in the parish of Kirby Underdale. The first nine generations of his family are recorded under the Puckerings of Kirby Underdale.
Circumstantial evidence suggests that the Puckerings were kinsmen of the Greystokes, who took their name from the town of the same name in Cumberland, and had vast holdings in the northernmost counties of England, but also in the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire. It is the association of the Puckerings and the Greystokes that probably explains the extent of the former family’s spread over the two Ridings.
