About The Book
David Gregory has traced his ancestral Gregory family roots back to the early 16th century in the Leicestershire villages of Peckleton and Desford.
During Tudor times, the family lived and worked in a farming community. His book traces their progression through each generation to the present day. It also examines the impact of many significant historic events on the lives of his ancestors and other English people.
Verifying family links of working people back to the era of King Henry VIII is very challenging. Fortunately, a collection of wills, parish records, and other documents has significantly helped establish a clear and detailed foundation for this book.
