The problem we have is that the sources have to be verifiable.[1] With the book not being freely available we are unable to do that, and with the book being written by a member of the family, we would judge the content to be potentially dubious.

I would recommend including some internet references in order to allow us to verify the information. -A quick google search has pulled up several pages you could use; including local and national history pages. Online birth/marriage/death/baptism records could be used to reference your dated facts.

We prefer you use inline references (after the full stop). You can do this by clicking the 'cite your sources' at the bottom of the editing page; it will include two "< ref >" things, and you put your reference or link in between them.

I've also found an error. You state the family purchased 'Ston Easton Minor' in 1544; the National Archives state they purchased the manor at 'Ston Easton' in 1544 and did not acquire 'Ston Easton Minor' until 1722-24.[2].

If you want to contact me after you've added these references, I'd be happy to review it for you and save you having to wait for it to make it's way through the backlog (which is currently taking up to and over a month).

Don't worry to much about the formatting of references, so long as the core link is there, we have an automated system that fills in the missing bits. All of yours are fantastic though- nothing needs adding or changing.

I'll put the article through the review process. As I say, saves it sitting in the backlog list for weeks. I can't see any obvious problems so it should be approved.
