This lists the descendants of Christopher Badnall "Sharman" of
Spath, Uttoxeter, Staffordshire whose son William established a mohair dyeing firm in
Mill Street, Leek, Staffordshire in the 1720s.
Christopher's father (William Badnall of Hanbury and Uttoxeter) has been
tentatively linked to the Badnalls of
Walford, Standon in Staffordshire on the basis of
circumstantial evidence, e.g. close family ties between the Villiers family
who were Lords of the Rectory Manor of Hanbury and the Vyse family of Standon
who were the Badnalls' close neighbours and probably related to them through
the Broughton family. All the family tree
prior to about 1520 should be treated as speculative. The
Broughton tree in particular is questionable even though based on one accepted
by the College of Arms in the 18th century. Please note too, that we may have
more information on particular individuals than is given on this site and will
provide what we can in answer to a request.
