Yes I thought so too, until I read Trevor's post
and consulted Wikipedia, which is also not that infallible.
It all seems a bit murky, just like trying to research my own family history. "We all came from England" . . ."oh, where exactly?" . . "don't know, they didn't think that was important enough to pass down". I have only been able to trace one ancestor for sure to Hampshire; the rest has to be pieced together from common sense and circumstantial evidence.
