If you cannot see the Name index in the left hand frame, click here.
In the name index people are indexed by surname and forenames. Females who married are indexed under both names, unless one of their names is not yet known. John Wordsworth and his ancestors are indexed in bold.
The main headings are the names at birth of the ancestors of John Wordsworth. To follow the line of descent from any of the ancestors, consult the list of their children. In each case it will be found that exactly one child has the annotation "Continued at personal entry". Following the link in this annotation will take you down the line of descent.
The main headings are arranged in date-of-birth order, though sometimes this is conjectural. Asterisks indicate missing information. A question mark indicates uncertain information.
Generally, no details are given of persons known to be still alive.
There is a list of sources from which the information about people is taken. The references to sources are given in square brackets thus: [a3]. Each reference in square brackets is a link to the description of the source.
