English Keeps, 1600s

The Spread of Keep Families in England during the 1600s

 

This data was taken from Parish records to show where Keeps were located during the century. You will note from the list of counties below that it provides only an indication of the spread, and not the density of the Keep population in the county. Gloucestershire, for example, only recorded one event, the marriage of Robert to Anne Wadley in 1696. Whilst this is after the death of John Keep of Longmeadow, it does indicate a Keep presence in Gloucestershire during the 1600s. What the spread shows is that John’s ancestry could originate from a wide and diverse area.
