VIVIAN

VIVIAN and its spelling variants goes back mainly to Cornwall, especially the area around Truro; there are a lot of VIVIANs and also VYVIANs, and a large wall at Truro Cathedreal is devoted to the VIVIAN family, with many details carved on plaques very high up.

More VIVIANS are being added to the tree, and we know there are records further back than Diggory VIVIAN as well. Also, more information will be added as Sir Richard Hussey VIVIAN led the cavalry charge at Waterloo, and both he and his son John Cranch Walker VIVIAN, plsu other relatives, were MPs. Note also that De CRESPIGNY is a Hugenot name.

Below are seven generations of VIVIANs in line of direct ascent and Sybiil Agnes is the eighth.
