Excerpted from Combs and Waterhouse Family Visitations, Hertfordshire, 1572:

In 1572, Richard COMBE of Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire reported that he was the son of Robert COMBE of Newington, Middlesex [sic] and Agnes, da. of John WATERHOUSE. The WATERHOUSE Visitation lists Agnes WATERHOUSE as wife of Robert COMBE [no location] and daughter of John WATERHOUSE who descended of … WATERHOUSE of Ludlow, Co. Salop (son of Francis WATERHOUSE) and Anne, daughter and heir of SPARKE of London.

Note: The Visitation is specific that Newington is in Middlesex (not Surry) and based on other old records (non-Combs), there may have been a Newington on the north side of the Thames, and this entry irrelevant.
