Overview of the Caddington Ansteys

The Caddington Ansteys are a sub-branch of the Horsham sub-branch of the medieval Sussex Ansteys, commencing when Peter Anstey (CD 1) received a religious posting in Kensworth near Caddington in c1553. This sub-branch went Anstey-extinct in the 1660s (see also Further Details #3).

Further Details on the Caddington Ansteys

#1. The ‘Northampton Mercury‘ on 2 July 1803 lists “Name of Deserter from the Bedfordshire Militia: Thomas Anstee Name of the parish enrolled for: Caddington“

#2. Two Edlesborough Anstees married in Caddington in 1803 – both were ‘of Caddington’ at the time

#3. Certain researchers have connected the Houghton Regis Anstees to Thomas Anstey (see CD 4) of Caddington – this is certainly not the case.

#4. The only entry in the Studham or Caddington parish registers after the 1667 death of Thomas Anstey (see CD 4) was “1683: Joan Ansteed married William Glover in Studham”
