In which year did the Spanish Armada sail against England?

Player #5853410 Alex, It's great to find out about interesting things about your ancestors. Me and my sister have been doing our ancestry for quite a number of years now and have discovered a lot of info about ours. On our mother's side of the family, we found that an ancestor of ours was a member of the "Craggvale coiners".They were a group of villagers who clipped around the edges of coins and melted them down to make counterfeit coins and the tax man sent a guy to investigate this and was shot and killed by one of these men. The leader of this gang and others were caught and hung. My ancestor escaped captivety and fled to America.

Some of my Scottish ancestors married Spanish survivors of the Armada when ships foundered near Sleet in the north of Scotland,.
