Notes:
Other DOB 1175
Reportedly Hugh Newcombe is Lady Diana's 24th Great Grandfather and PM Winston Churchill's 20th Great Grandfather.
Unfortunately this family tree bleeds out to other surnames, and I am unable to link it to the Other Newcombe Family of Devon Shire, Exeter.
There is not much Info about this family, however I believe that the family is from Gainsborough, approx. 230 miles (370 Km) North East of Exeter.
The original Source for this tree was a Pedigree Tree, and as such was more interested in the Parents of members and not so much the children of members, At odd times there were short details of other siblings, however it was not much.
I'm also looking at other sources to find missing siblings and perhaps will manage to join other sub family groups into the main tree.
I have found that Thomas Newcomen, designer and builder of the first Steam engine, is a descendant of Hugh. Although I had to dig in several different sources with differing dates.. Where given i have noted the two differing dates.
Another Source lists Hugh as 'Hugo le Newcomen', Lord of the Manor of Saltfleetby in Lincolnshire,
Hugh apparently accompanied 'Richard I' on his crusade to the Holy Land.
