Robin Bush has now established his ancestry, origins from manorial records of Taunton Late Priory. This manor covers the area immediately to the north-east of the old borough of Taunton which lay within the the parish of Taunton, St. James at which four of John Whitcombe's children were baptized. This work establishes that John's parents were Thomas Whetcombe and Johanna Pope and John's ancestry can be traced back to the brothers and sisters of his father. Also, John's mother can be traced back to her grandfather, John Pope of Taunton.
