traders in the city of Coventry their family and married
connections were mayors of Coventry, including J. REMINGTON

Ancestry of Anna
Maria REMINGTON who married Samuel
DUFKIN of
Chilvers Coton (S Nuneaton), Warks on 10.11.1762 at Holy Trinity,
Coventry (my 6xGGPs).
Anna Maria REMINGTON
was the daughter of John REMINGTON &
Mary BOYCE
(my 7xGGPs).
Name can be
found/mistranscribed as KEMMINGTON,
BENNINGTON,
BENINGTON,
BEMINGTON,
BEMMINGTON,
REMINGTON,
REMMINGTON,
RENINGTON
or RIMINGTON,
as examples.
REMINGTON is in
the 1544 survey of Nuneaton. They are also in the Hearth Tax and
one Edmund REMINGTON (mis-spelt RENINGTON and KEMMINGTON) was
recorded as having 5 hearths between 1663 and 1666 when the
property was empty, plus arrears for 1 hearth in 1664. A Thomas
REMINGTON had 1 hearth and then built another two in 1670 (then
mis-spelt RIMINGTON). It looks like he had a son Edward
REMINGTON. In 1676 Edward REMINGTON was living in Wash Lane on
the very border of Chilvers Coton and Nuneaton parish. (Chilvers
Coton is a rare parish which almost enters the centre of
town of its adjoining parish). Edward REMINGTON seems to have
done pretty well from these records as he took over a property of
the local lord of the manor: Edward STRATFORD who had 5 hearths
and built two more. So he had 7 hearths in 1674. The Hearth Tax
appears not to be collected after 1676. The impression is that
the REMINGTONs were wealthy people as they had some of the
largest houses recorded at this time. They might have been
substantial farm houses.
An number of
records from the National Archives are transcribed in the
