Caroline Louise Burnaby ^2,3

  General Notes:

[Europe_New.FTW] [royalfam.ged] I don't know about the views of the Queen herself, but I'm interested in Elizabeth II's relat ively obscure ancestors. I've done some research on the ancestry of Caroline Louisa Burnaby 1832-1918, the Queen's matrilineal great-grandmother. Caroline's known great-great-great-gra ndfathers include a carpenter and a baker, and another may have been a husbandman. Caroline a lso has many more prominent ancestors. She may have traceable royal ancestry, though her desc ent from Edward I through Philippa Brooke Calverley Burton given in "Burke's Landed Gentr y" is in error, because Elizabeth Burton bur 1699, wife of Hugh Burnaby, was a daughter o f Andrew and Anne Fairmeadow Burton of Oakham, co. Rutland, and not of Sir Thomas and Phili ppa Brooke Calverley Burton of Stockerston, Leicestershire see Harleian Society volume 7 3, the 1681-82 visitation of Rutland. I haven't looked at John and Elizabeth Walsh much. Wagner's article "Some of the Sixty-four A ncestors of Her Majesty the Queen" in "The Genealogists' Magazine", Mar 1940, pp7-13, give s John Walsh and Elizabeth only as possibilities for the parents of Mary Elizabeth Walsh Ca rpenter, noting that they were witnesses at her marriage in 1779. Gerald Paget's "The Lineag e and Ancestry of HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales" lists John and Elizabeth without any c aveat. An extracted entry in the IGI gives the baptism of a Mary Elizabeth Walsh, daughter o f John and Elizabeth, in 1758 at St. Luke, Chelsea. Edward Davies
