I'm descended (on my mother's side) from the Pilkington family, and am trying to piece together the 'Junior Yorkshire Branch' of our family tree from about 1570 onward (which is when the tree at the back of the 'History' your article is based on ends.)<br /><br />Do you know of any sources that would cover that, 'modern' period?<br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />Mark SchulzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-46304321929350204262012-03-03T03:39:54.021-08:002012-03-03T03:39:54.021-08:00Susie - a fetterlock is a metal fetter used for ho...Susie - a fetterlock is a metal fetter used for hobbling horses.

It's a bit like football players I suppose - being a Lancastrian didn't stop you being a Yorkist.

(not overly imaginative, I must say :-) I suppose its better than deerpath or something equally literal). Your books sound great! What's a fetterlock? (or how are you using it?
