Edward T Beaumont JP |
A book first published around 1929 and covering the family history of the Beaumont family. Downloadable in DF format. The genealogist who referred me to the Site initially did point out there were some errors. The entry for Huntingdon* within it is wrong on several counts. However link passed on but all information should be checked against other sources too. (*Original page 130/1 of printed book pdf page 138/9) |

Yorkshire Wills Series |
The Yorks. Wills Series is to be found amongst the Record Series of the Yorkshire Archeological Society volumes. Regrettably as the information was forwarded to us we don’t know the volume number. Most big public libraries would have this series, esp. in Yorks., or a Univ. with a good history dept. (HB's will is in this series) |

Wollaton Hall and the Willoughby Family. |
Published by the Nottingham Civic Soc (1999) ISBN 1 902443 05 5 this book is about the Willoughby family who for a time were business partners of Huntingdon. There is therefore some material relevant to HB's life story. |
