Wanda,
No, this book wouldn't contain any information on British Walworths prior to 1646 - it only details the descendants of William b. abt. 1646 after he arrived in America.It gives a brief bio of the 14th c. Sir William Walworth, Lord Mayor, etc., but makes no attempt to address the later William's claim that he was descended from the famous knight and Lord Mayor.
However, the Walworth family in the UK seems to be a relatively small one, and I do have information on some branches of this family who originated in County Durham near Darlington, from the 1100s down to about the 1400s (far from complete I'm afraid).I would love to share information with you in the hope that we might be able to prove that our respective William Walworths were related, and perhaps even piece together a pedigree.
Please email me privately at the above address.
Cheers,
