Gloucestershire Families
Flight Family
"My" branch of the family first showed up in Gloucestershire, England in 1682, and for over two hundred years lived in the King's Stanley and Leonard Stanley area. Most were connected with the wool trade, but amongst my ancestors were:-
- The Flight who came to a nasty end because of a bellrope.
- His son, who, after being accused of theft, joined the Royal Marines and spent over twenty years at sea before returning to marry and settle down in Leonard Stanley.
Other surnames mentioned: BEBB, BROWNING, BUNDY, CLEEVLAND, CLUTTERBUCK, COX, DENLY, ELLIOTT, GARDINER, GWINELL, HAINES, HAYWARD, PALZER, TANNAR, TOCKNELL, WALL.
