Hooray for Google Books!
Edited on Wed Jun-30-10 11:50 AM by lazarus
http://books.google.com/books?id=NF9IAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA6&dq=george+calveley&hl=en&ei=42grTPmPG86ynAeM4Kz0DQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=george%20calveley&f=false

Ancestry had a line of Hugh Calveleys, but the first one died without issue, according to Wikipedia. So then I find a reference to one Hugh Calveley's being a great nephew to the famous Hugh Calveley, instead of the son, but I couldn't find anything else out. Then I somehow stumbled on Google Books and found this, which is a full listing of the proper genealogy. Now I just have to convert the dates. 11 Henry VI is apparently 1432-3, which fits the genealogy I have now.

Whew!

On edit: I can't figure out what date 10 Henry VII is. Any help would be appreciated.

1. 11 Henry VII would be 1496
Regnal years are numbered from the date of accession to the throne. (In the case of Henry VII, that would be 1485...Bosworth Field and all that.)
