The earlier Corderoy ancestry, with a new connection to the Seymour family, is
the subject of an article by me in July TAG, and continuing in October TAG.

I have also worked on the Dymoke ancestry before, but do not have the files
here. I believe the source you have used has connected to the wrong Conyers
line. The correct line does not connect to any remarkable royalty. Maddison
(HS 55:1204) says that Sir Thomas Dymoke, aged 27 in 33 Henry VI [1455],
Champion [by way of descent from the Marmions] of Edward IV, was son of Sir
Philip Dymoke (aged 22 in 10 Henry V, died 23 Sep. 1455), Champion of Henry VI,
by his wife, Joane Conyers, daughter of Christpher Conyers of Sokbourne, co.
Durham. Surtees History of the County of Durham has a good account of the
Conyers family.

But for some reason I seem to recall that another source gave her as daughter
of Robert Conyers, of a completely different family. If I can find the files,
I'll post more.

The most direct connection to royalty for this line of descent comes through
Sir Thomas Dymoke's wife, Margaret, 3rd daughter and coheir of Lyon Welles,
Lord Welles.
