  • Richard Townley Over Darwen

    He had 175 grandchildren and is buried at St James Church in Over Darwen. BBC NEWS | puffbox | hyperpuff | AudioVideo | England | Mystery of grandfather of 175

    Are there any descendants on FTF?

    I've only just seen this - I have this man in my hobby tree and have just been following one of his descendants.

    By Darwen standards, the man is practically infertile, lol - I have several on the Darwen tree who can beat 175 grandchildren.

        I've just had a quick look at my tree - the Townley line is by no means complete but I don't have anything like 175 grandchildren for him, more like 75...and 100 great grandchildren.

        However, my work is by no means complete. Perhaps he will be my next project!

        The Townleys were an ancient Lancashire family, mentioned in the 1100s. They married in and out of my Holdens for centuries and it is likely that Richard Townley was a descendant of this old county family.
