The Evolution of the Crathornes

The main Crathorne line at Crathorne village started with Sir William de Crathorne who was knighted in 1327, and ended with Maria Crathorne who died in 1844.  In the time charts below, this main line is shown as an orange oval on the left hand side, with the different Crathorne tribes branching off at different points in time.  Some only lasted for a few generations, but many continue to the present day.

The Lincolnshire Crathornes were the first to be established in the early 1400s, followed by the London Crathornes in the late 1400s.  In the period 1500-1550 new tribes were set up in Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire and Sussex, as well as other single marriages not recorded here.  Later tribes include those at Whitby and around Beverley in Yorkshire.
