Crathornes in Lincolnshire Lincolnshire is the fourth most Crathorned county in England with 134 IGI records, but it has one of the most ancient lines outside Yorkshire dating back to a Thomas Crathorne, born about 1395. He was probably the youngest son of Thomas and Elizabeth Bagot at Crathorne, and he married a Miss Dallinson in Lincolnshire about 1420, giving birth to their son Thomas at Saltfleetby (then also known as Sallaby). There were Crathornes at Sallaby for 5 generations, moving out into neighbouring village of North Coates in the 1500s and 1600s. These later Crathornes are also notable for their variable spellings of Crawthorne, Crowthorn, Crothorn and Crauthorn - maybe they simply couldn't write and just left it to the priest to spell the name. The following tree includes most available information, but it seems strange to have just one son in every generation... There was also a Thomas Craythorne of Lincolnshire who married Margaret Talbois (daughter of John Talbois of Stallingborough) somewhere in the mid 1400s, but it's not clear where he fits in.
Robert and Alice seem to have had no children, so it looks likely that John and Anne are the ancestors of all the later 4 generations of North Coates Crathornes
The
North Coates Crathornes probably gave rise to the family in Scamblesby in
the mid 1600s, and possibly the Nettleham and Lincoln Crathornes too - but as yet
these links are not proven.
