Surname Saturday -- ROYLE (England to colonial Massachusetts)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.

I am working in the 9th great-grandmothers by Ahnentafel number, and I am up to Ancestor #2315 who is Dorothy ROYLE (1615-1694). [Note: the more recent ancestral families have been covered in earlier posts.]

My ancestral line back through one generation in this ROYLE family line is:

Children of John Heald and Dorothy Royle are:

The English parents of Dorothy Royle may be George Royle and Dorothy Stone.  George Royle is listed as the father in Dorothy's baptismal record in the Eccles, Lancashire parish register.  Eccles is near Alderley.

I have done no original research for this Royle family.
