_Family of Kyme._--Sir John Kyme is said to have married a daughter of
Edward IV. Can any of your correspondents inform me where I can find an
account of this Sir John Kyme, his descendants, &c.? I should be glad of
information respecting the family of Kyme generally, their pedigree,
&c. &c. I may say that I am aware that the original stock of his family
had possessions in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, and that there were
members of it of considerable importance during the reigns of the
earlier monarchs succeeding William I. I am also acquainted with some
old pedigrees found in certain visitation books. But none of the
pedigrees I have seen appear to come down later than the fourteenth, or
quite the beginning of the fifteenth, century. I should be glad to know
of any pedigree coming down through the fifteenth, sixteenth, and
seventeenth centuries, and to have any account of the later history of
the family.
