When Sir Thomas Greene, Knt., of Bobbing, Kent, died in 1624, his papers passed to his younger brother George Grene of Corstown, Kilkenny. Included in those papers was the family pedigree of Norton and Grene signed by “Gulielmus Camden”. That document stayed in the family up until at least 1892 when an article was written by William David Grene, District Inspector of the Royal Irish Constabulary, who was then in possession of it.
In “The History and topographical survey of the county of Kent”, by Edward Hasted (1797), there is information about the Greenes alluding to the same pedigree. It seems there is a duplicate of the same pedigree, assuming that Camden made a copy for the College of Arms, which Hasted was able to examine. Unfortunately, I cannot find this pedigree in any of the published visitations for Kent.
Any thoughts on how to find an unpublished pedigree made during the tenure of William Camden, Clarenceux?
