Is William Culpeper (1505-1559) an ancestor of Lady Diane Spencer?

Question

I have been asked if the information shown on the biography of William Culpeper (Culpeper-39) is accurate.  I don't know the answer.  Someone has posted there that William is an ancestor of the Spencers.  Can anyone confirm or disprove this?

Answer 1

The website that is mentioned in the biography,  Culpepper Connections (see here - http://gen.culpepper.com/ss/ac58240.htm#a12 ) seems to use good references in the biographies, visible once you click on the names, particularly those people highlighted in yellow and it does have William Culpeper as an ancestor of Lady Diana Spencer, via her grandmother, Lady Cynthia Hamilton.  

However it looks like Wikitree is either missing quite a few generations or they are there somewhere and haven't been connected.

Thanks, John.  I know we have our plates already full with other issues, so perhaps someone interested in this particular line will look it over and get everyone connected.

Hi Darlene,

The official website of the British Monarchy might help with this, the URL is http://www.royal.gov.uk/Home.aspx

Thanks, Billy.  I unfortunately am not able to work on connecting the profiles.  Would you like to take it on?  If not, perhaps someone else will read the post and make the connections.
