a lineal descendant
of Wickliffe

As John Wyclif (Wycliffe) c 1320-1384 was priest and did not marry then he
would have no descendants.

Stan -

Thank you for that. You may have noticed the doubt I expressed by the IF!

So much for learned papers.

(Of course, a number of priests at that time did have children).

Eve McLaughlin...
Rural parish priests certainly did - it was those in the monastic orders
who normally did not (at least, not officially or unpunished. Think of
Abelard)


Eve McLaughlin...
John Wycliffe was rector of Ludgershall, Bucks.


Yours Aye Andrew Sellon
A Curate – there is something which excites compassion in the very name
of a Curate!!! Rev. Sydney Smith 1771-1845, Canon of St. Paul's.
