“ Genealogists have succeeded in individualising the far-famed Peter Waldo, and have put on record that he died in Bohemia in 1179 — that he was unmarried — but that he had a married brother, Thomas Waldo, [1] whose children retired from their native town, Lyons, and settled in the Netherlands, where they were represented in the reign of our Queen Elizabeth. ”

“ The Timothy first mentioned was Timothy the third; he was knighted on 12th April 1769, and became Sir Timothy Waldo, of Clapham (Surrey) and of Hever Castle (Kent) ; he died in 1786. His heiress was his daughter Jane, born in 1738, who was married in 1762 [2] to George Medley, Esq., M.P., but had no children; her husband died in 1797; she survived him for thirty-two years, and died on 14th December 1829, in her ninety-second year; her property was sworn under £180,000. We must now return to the first Earl of Liverpool ”

“ Her own baptism had been registered in her parents’ parish church of Allhallows thus:— “1711, March 6, Sarah, da. of Isaac and Sarah Waldo;” and the baptism of her eldest child may be seen in the same register: “1741, July 23, Sarah, daughter of Humphrey and Sarah Sibthorp, of the city of Lincoln.” Isaac Waldo seems to have had ten children, of whom Mrs. Sibthorp was the only survivor; certainly, eight children predeceased him, viz., two Daniels, Ann, Peter, two Elizabeths, Edward, and Isaac. Most of these died in childhood, but young Isaac died in his seventeenth year in 1731. ”
