Hi I've been working on the Billington family in Little Budworth, Cheshire, England.
I found a reference to a Ralph Billington who I believe is this same as the Ralph Byllington on this profile. (The reference is "The alterations are mentioned in a dispute over rights to a pew heard in 1603 when Ralph Billington argued that his family had used a certain form in the chapel since his grandfather John had been bailiff to the Earl of Shrewsbury." From http://www.tonybostock.com/budworthchurch.pdf)
Which states his grandfather is John but I haven't been able to find any other references to him, so does anybody know anything or where to find any information.
Ralph's father Randal would have been born about 1550 I think, putting John's birthday in the early half of the 16th century. The linked profile is to Randal; John's son.
Thanks,
