John Goring of Barton in Sussex.

Research notes

✓ JOHN GORING, of BURTON, Sussex; father of Constance. ✓✓ SEAT CONFIRMED FROM A PRIMARY SOURCE, 7 Aug 2026: the Hampshire visitation names her father outright as 'JOHN GORING OF BURTON IN COM. SUSSEX', and in the next generation records her daughter 'Ellenor vx. Hen. Goring of Burton in Com. Sussex' - the same house twice over. Source: THE VISITATIONS OF HAMPSHIRE, 1530, 1575 and 1622-34 (Harleian Society), 'Kingsmill' pedigree at pp.2-3, from MS Harl. 1544 fo.5-7; page images read 7 Aug 2026. A HERALDS' VISITATION - primary heraldic evidence, taken from the family at the time, and a materially better authority than any nineteenth-century printed pedigree. ⚠ SEAT CORRECTED 7 Aug 2026 from BARTON to BURTON: the Burke's LGI text prints 'Barton', but Stirnet gives 'John Goring of Burton', and the same Burke's article elsewhere names 'Sir Henry Goring OF BURTON' as the cousin a Kingsmill granddaughter married - so 'Barton' is a misprint or a mis-set type for Burton Park, near Petworth. Source: Stirnet Families Database, 'Kingsmill1' (Kingsmill of Einham/Enham and Kingsmill of Sydmonton), read 7 Aug 2026 - a compilation from BLGI1912 'Kingsmill of Hermitage Park', BLG1952 'Kingsmill of Sydmonton', BEB1841 'Kingsmill of Sidmonton' and the Hampshire Visitations of 1530, 1575 and 1622-34. The GORINGS OF BURTON (Burton Park, near Petworth) were a substantial Sussex family, later baronets and Earls of Norwich - and the article notes that a Kingsmill granddaughter married 'her cousin, SIR HENRY GORING OF BURTON', so the two houses married twice. Pedigreed in the Sussex visitations. END OF LINE as entered, and extendable. Source: Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland, 'KINGSMILL OF HERMITAGE PARK' p.307, PAGE IMAGE read 7 Aug 2026 (an earlier edition than the 1912 text swept by OCR on 6 Aug - note the different pagination).
