Just a quick note in response to the letter on Frogley Cox
in the last edition of the Berkshire Family Historian. Very few of the
Frogley’s were Catholic or remained Catholic, and most have emigrated
since. It would seem that earlier they were associated with the Hyde
and Fettiplace families, who also had Catholic connections in some
quarters. During the English Civil War I suspect the families were
Royalists, presumably fighting with the Hydes. Fragmentation of the
family occurred after this time when it seems they settled in the area
where they had ended their time with the military. Some family members
moved directly from Berkshire to London, but most came from the
fragmented lines in counties around the metropolis.
Frogley Cox I would suspect worked for the (Catholic)
Throckmortons at Buckland Park Estate. My ancestor, James Frogley of
Alley farm, Denchworth, married Helen Chare of Buckland. It is said by
the family that Helen’s mother was a Throckmorton — but this has not
been proven. The late Dr. Ralph Frogley of Salt Lake City has submitted
his Frogley research to the LDS church, but it is badly flawed. It was
compiled by Brian Leese, who I understand from Ralph was one of LDS
members in London. Research ceased in the 1970s after Ralph’s brother
had an argument on the phone with Brian over length of time to send
reports and the cost. From the copies of the reports, Brian did not
consult any Catholic registers or undertake any extensive research in
and around Oxford. Richard Frogley of Oxford married Elizabeth
Phillipson de Connor at the London Portuguese Embassy. It would seem
from a history that he compiled on the family, donated to the
University, that she was one of the sub-members of the Portuguese Royal
family another connection, I would think, with Catholicism.
