There were dozens of recusant families, some no longer extant. For example, the [[Howard family]], some of whose members are known as Fitzalan-Howard, the [[Duke of Norfolk|Dukes of Norfolk]], the highest-ranking non-royal family in England and hereditary holders of the title of [[Earl Marshal]], is considered the most prominent Catholic family in England. Other members of the Howard family, the Earls of Carlisle, Effingham and Suffolk are Anglican, including a cadet branch of the Carlisles who own [[Castle Howard]] in Yorkshire. Recusancy was historically focused in [[Northern England]], especially in [[Cumberland]], [[Lancashire]], [[Yorkshire]] and [[Westmorland|Westmoreland]]. A geographical exception was a branch of the Welds from [[Shropshire]] who migrated via London to [[Oxfordshire]] and [[Dorset]]. The three sons of Sir [[John Weld (merchant)|John Weld]] (1585–1622), founder of the [[Weld Chapel]] in [[Southgate, London|Southgate]], all married into recusant families and were technically "converts" in the 1640s. The eldest, [[Humphrey Weld (of Lulworth)|Humphrey]], began a lineage, referred to as the "Lulworth Welds".<ref name=HOP>{{cite web| url =https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1660-1690/member/weld-%28wild%29-humphrey-1612-85|title=Weld (Wild), Humphrey (1612–85), of Lulworth Castle, Dorset and Weld House, St. Giles in the Fields, Mdx.| publisher= History of Parliament Online| access-date = 2 September 2020 }}</ref> They became connected by marriage to Catholic families across the kingdom, including the [[Baron Arundell of Wardour|Arundells]], [[Weld-Blundell family|Blundells]], [[Baron Clifford of Chudleigh|Cliffords]], [[Errington (surname)|Erringtons]], [[Joseph Gillow|Gillows]], [[Christopher Haydock|Haydocks]], [[Baron Petre|Petres]], [[Baron Teynham|Ropers]], [[Maria Howard, Duchess of Norfolk|Shireburns]], [[Maria Fitzherbert|Smythes]], [[Baron Stourton|Stourtons]], [[Throckmorton baronets|Throckmortons]], [[FitzHerbert baronets|Fitzherberts]], [[Vaughan (surname)|Vaughans]] and [[Vavasour family|Vavasours]].<ref name="Burke">''Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry'', Volume 2.
