The List of Descendants of

The Line of Descent to myself is high-lighted in red
0...... John Rich Born 1670 Cranfield, Bedfordshire; Died ?
+ Elizabeth CURTIS Born 1674 Cranfield, Bedfordshire; Married 30th September 1695 Cranfield, Bedfordshire
John Rich and Elizabeth Curtis Married in Cranfield, Bedfordshire on 30th September 1695. Parish Records for the late 1600’s to early 1700’s have been lost so the link to the John Rich born 1728 (below), cannot now be proven. However, records suggest that there was only one ‘Rich’ Family group in Cranfield during that period so it is most probable that John Rich and Elizabeth Curtis were the Grand-parents of John Rich born 1728 (below).
