The Levetts of Staffordshire.....
My Grandfather was Robert George Levett b.28Sep1917 at Packington Hall, Lichfield, Staffordshire - d.12Nov1986. My mother gave me a copy of a Family History by a Dyonese Haszard (daughter of William Swinnerton Bird Levett of Milford Hall and Maud Sophia Levett of Wytchnor Park, Milford).I quote:"The Levett family is of a very ancient descent. A pedigree at Milford, now about a century old, exquisitely painted with heraldic arms, goes back to the 11th Century. It describes the early Levett ancestors as the Chevaliers de Livet, hereditary controllers of the Rivers and Waterways of Normandy in the time of Philip II (1165-1223). The de Livet family appear to have left Normandy and settled in Sussex and became of some distinction."
Has anyone heard of William Swinnerton Bird Levett, Maud Sophia Levett or Robert George Levett? I would be grateful for any leads. Thankyou in advance.
