Many years ago my wife and I began searching for our ancestors and descendants to create a family tree, the intention being to have something of heritage value to hand down to our children. Not being content with just a list of names and places of birth, death and marriage, the outline gave us the incentive to look further afield at things such as the era when they were born, where they lived, what they did, and who they married. As all good family historians know one has to begin with oneself and work backwards. Soon we had sufficient information to begin writing some family history and this is now available for sharing. We would encourage others to conduct their own research and to compare with our findings and thus add leaves, twigs and branches to the family tree.
The narratives that follow are living documents and therefore subject to change as more information becomes available. They are in no way intended as definitive accounts of our families' histories and must not, in any circumstance, be interpreted as such.
I'm sure you will agree that family history is more enjoyable if read in conjunction with photographs which become the icing on the cake, so to speak. We are gradually gathering together a gallery of photos so if you have something of interest—whether it be a photo or some information, we would like to hear from you.
Donate a photo of family interest and contribute to the family tree by adding branches, leaves and twigs.
All photographs received will be acknowledged with suitable attribution.
