Eric,
Thank you for your reply.From the looks of things, it is not terribly surprising that I am confused!I think that one issue we face is what source(s) to use in finding this answer.I have access to copies of the Visitations of Cheshire (1580 and 1613), but I don't think the Visitations are without error.Do you (or other members of the Forum) know of a better secondary source or of primary sources we can use in the quest to solve the Hamnet/Robert issue?I will look into the 1613(??) VOC and see if there is any clarification.
Interestingly, the Robert "Hamnet" Hyde you mention in your last paragraph could be a conflation of the first two Hydes you mentioned or a compiler's attempt to reconcile the disparity that is the subject of this posting.
Your thoughts are welcomed.
