Thank you, Ann, for your information re possible Kingsmills. I have not used the site very much and had not realised I had posted on the wrong chat page.
I shall look into the information you have passed on and also post on Genealogy Chat.
Many thanks.

CONSTANCE KINGSMILL (d. 1625)

Constance Kingsmill was the daughter of William Kingsmill of Malshanger, Hampshire (d.1592?). There are a confusing number of Williams and Constances in the Kingsmill family, but it appears that this one, in about 1602, married Thomas Baker of Whittingham Hall, Suffolk and Leyton, Essex (d. April 10, 1625) as his second wife. At the time of the marriage, Baker subscribed to an indenture by which all his lands in Essex were assigned to Constance as her jointure. Their children included Thomas, Richard, and Elizabeth. Constance died only a few months after her husband.



CONSTANCE KINGSMILL (d.1637)
Constance Kingsmill was the daughter of Richard Kingsmill of Highclere, Hampshire (c.1528-September 1600) and Alice Fauconer (d. before 1574) and was a wealthy heiress, her worth accounted at £40,000. She was brought up in the Walsingham household as a companion to Frances Walsingham. She became the second wife of Sir Thomas Lucy of Charlecote (1551-1605). Their fourteen children included Thomas (1585-December 1640), Richard (1592-April 5, 1667), George (b.1593), William (1594-October 4, 1677), Robert (d.1615), Francis (1600-c.1682), Elizabeth, Bridget, Anne, and Susanna. Portrait: effigy on her father’s tomb in St. Michael Archangel, Highclere, Hampshire and on her husband's tomb at Charlecote, Warwickshire.

I have a feeling that the name Kingsmill has been passed down in my family under the surname GROVE. I have come across a lot of Kingsmill Groves and my father's name was William John Kingsmill WARE - his mother was a Grove. He passed the name on to his youngest son (my brother), even though he did not use the name himself! I came across the following - by accident - some time ago when searching online during a course I was attending.

" Marriage Licences issued by the Archbishop of Canterbury, 1679-1694
1684.
County: General
Country: England
23 Sep 1684 William Grove (or Groave), of St Clement Danes, Midd., Bachr, abt 22, & Constance Kingsmill, of Endivor, Hampshire, Spr, abt 19, with consent of her father; at Gray's Inn Chapel, Midd. "

I cannot link this with my family yet. The furthest I have been able to find so far is William Grove born before 1711 who was married to Elizabeth Cole.

Does anyone know how I can research this further? Was the name perhaps carried on because the Kinsgmill family wanted their family name used for future male children. It looks as though this could have been a marriage of wealthy families.
