Anthony Wood (1632–1695) drew up many pedigrees (family trees) of well-to-do Oxfordshire people in his diaries, dating backwards from the late seventeenth century. The references in the list above are to the volume and page number in the diaries, which are obtainable in the following published form:

Andrew Clark (ed.), The Life and Times of Anthony Wood, Antiquary, of Oxford, 1632–1695, Described by Himself (Oxford, 1891, reprinted for the Oxford Historical Society in 1992 by Anthony Rowe Ltd: five volumes, including index) .

Note that there are many other people mentioned in Wood’s diaries: the index of persons fills 152 printed pages, and with approximately 80 persons listed on each page there must be well over 12,000 people who get at least a mention in the diaries: more than the population at Oxford at the time.
