Book of Dene, Deane, Adeane Mary Deane

Publisher Marketing: Excerpt from The Book of Dene, Deane, Adeane: A Genealogical History This genealogical history owes its existence to long years of patient research on the part of Mr. J. Bathurst Deane, but the loss of his sight precluded his making his voluminous notes into a complete book. My only substitute for the finished scholarship and the prestige of a well-known antiquary has been diligence, which would have attained to small result had it not been for the generosity of Mr. William Dean (of the Holdenhurst family), who placed at my disposal the whole of his large collection of extracts from wills & State Papers, & I desire to record here my great obligation to him. I offer my thanks also to my kinsfolk both near & distant, whose cordial concurrence has enabled me to save my father's work from the oblivion of faded manuscript, & beg their indulgence for the unavoidable imperfections - & even for any avoidable ones - they may discover.
