Gilston Pluckroses

Origins

John Pluckrose's origins are unknown at present. He is more or less contemporary with William Pluckrose who heads the current top of the main Pluckrose tree. William's first child was born in Ickleton in 1602 and John's first child in Gilston in 1623. From a chronological point of view William and John could be first cousins, or even brothers. However, Ickleton and Gilston are about 25 miles apart which makes this relationship unlikely, although not impossible. People did not often travel very far during this period. Parish records began in 1538 so a link may be found one of these days.
