Re: [h-cost] What would my ancestor have worn?
Hi there - I don't have any specific information, but I am also looking. My ancestors, Venoix of Caens, also came over with William the C (Advisors), were given lands near Hastings and took on the name Veness. If you here anything, let me know?

A cousin of mine is tracing the family tree and hit the jackpot. I'm a direct descendant of the builders of this manor: http://www.padley.catholicweb.com/ My ancestor is Joan Padley, and she lived in the 14th century. I'd love to know how Joan would have been dressed, but I'm not quite certain how she places on the socioeconomic scale of the times. Here's some of the information from the website: The manor house at Upper Padley was built in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. It is situated on the north bank of the River Derwent, within a mile of Grindleford Bridge. The original owners came from Normandy with William the Conqueror. Their family name was De Bernac. They were given the lands of Padley, Grindleford and Hathersage by William for services rendered. They settled in Upper Padley, where their descendants started to build. They eventually changed their name to Padley. When the sole heiress, Joan Padley married Robert Eyre of Highlow, there was already a fair sized manor house. Robert Joan extended the buildings including the gatehouse. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks!

Re: [h-cost] What would my ancestor have worn?
Hi, I'm a me, too here as there is a family genealogy that I've never seen. The story is that the ancestor came in 1064 or 1065 as part of W of N's entourage and stayed. Also that the current family name 'Chase' is an Anglecised(sp?)version of the original. The College of Heralds has the original name but want money to part with it. It is said in family that he became a baron or was a baron. I'd like to know what he, his spouse and children would have worn. Most of my cousins that have seen the genealogy call it that old thing. But I think it would be fun to know.
