David's Family History
Lesley's Family History

How much do you know about your grandparents and great grand parents? How far back can you go? 

We have both been researching our families for over 20 years, and have a considerable amount of information about all our lines, though some are proving more illusive than others!  We also have a growing collection of old photos, the earliest ones being of great great grandparents circa 1860.

David's family lines are scattered across England (Northumberland, County Durham, Lancashire), Ireland, Scotland and Wales (Ruthin and Wrexham).  Searching for Williams in Wales does slow down his progress! 

On the other hand, by linking up with other researchers (mainly distant and previously unknown cousins) Lesley has information going back to the sixteenth century on her  father's line and to the seventeenth century on her mother's line.  These lines are based in East Anglia (Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Lincolnshire, Suffolk and Norfolk), and include a Huguenot line.

These are the names we are currently working on:
