Calvert Family

[David Heiden]

Hello everyone, I’m new here. I'm trying to verify the Lennard Readman Calvert 1550-1611, father of Sir George 1st Baron of Baltimore, is the brother of Sir Robert Calvert 1546-1616 and William Calvert 1554-1587. All the sons of John George Calvert 1525-1566 and Dorothy Lennard 1527-1611.

George's father was simply named Lennard Calvert

[David Heiden]

Yes, but was he a brother George and William?

[Will Johnson]

There is no evidence of any family connections at all
If you've found any please post that

[Will Johnson]

It appears that some person of no usefullness has created a false life on family search for this family

https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/MQFT-NVK/lady-dorothy-margerie-leonard-'-1527-1616

Calling her "Dorothy Margerie Leonard" which is a ludicrous name, they propose that she was baptised 1527, the daughter of John Lennard and Elizabeth Harmon

*That* this couple did in fact exist we know from the History of the Lennards

https://books.google.com/books?id=2v8g_cwvIWYC&pg=PA8#v=onepage&q&f=false

However there they give in fulll the names of alll the children
No Dorothy Margerie, also no Dorothy and no Margerie

John and Elizabeth did have a daughter Anne however baptised 13 Jun 1563
making it next to impossible that she would have also had a daughter born 36 years earlier

I note that there are NO SOURCES given for this family in familysearch

[David Heiden]

Thanks, I asked because I had found this, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Calvert-27 it has.title if any documentation

[Will Johnson]

Note that one of the sources mentioned at wikitree is simply an entry at Geni, and when you flip to that entry their ONLY sources are other peoples trees. So. A bunch of nonsense.

The 1910 of CP edition has some changes. Here's an uncorrected scan of my copy:

The deleted message said the same but since the OCR was taken from the Microprint edition I failed to notice that the pages and the columns had been re-arranged into a meaningless order. A senile old fool like myself found it easier to delete and start again.
