I have a question for the list. I've been merrily matching up my US Wickliffe's to my own line and crossing over into England with them, eventually ending up with my line of de Wycliffe families. No matter how many times I've searched and tried to match up spouses and various birth dates of husbands and wives, I always seem to be off in these repeating names of James, Robert etc. Then I came across one Rootsweb family tree that said the famous John de Wycliffe...for his English translation of the bible and various political stances...that he was never married. That means my line is up to him, but isn't directly his. No kids, no me.

Is this correct? Does anyone know for sure that this particular Bible transcribing John, born approximately 1324 in Hipswell, England, did not marry?

Also, if anyone has any fun "notes" about the various Wickliffe/Wycliffe families I would be delighted to read them. Everything I find online about these families always reviews the Bible transcriber, John, but seldom is there anything written about the generations before and after him.

Thanks for all your ideas and help. Thelma
