Well that was interesting .. very confusing but interesting .. so going back to William the Conqueror it was de Weston .. at bottom of page 6 there is a Richard .. but not sure where he comes from!! I tried googling Richard Weston and that was a hoot .. three Sirs and the 1st Earl of Portland .. I rather fancied the botanist but far too late for my Richard .. oh well one day there might be a comprehensive book written by a competent historian who will untangle and reveal where my Richard really comes from .. (probably I'll be long gone .. but I wish I could share the story with my late bil whose ancestor laid claims to being a descendant of the Duke of Portland ..) Family history amazing stuff.
