This site is still under construction and I shall add more information and photographs in due time.
I am very grateful to the kind contacts, close and distant relatives who have helped me in my research and provide information and photos for my use.
I hope other researchers of the names in my tree will find the information of use and interest and please contact me if you find a connection or can offer factual corrections or additional information. (Please note that what are clearly transcription errors, eg ages/names/places in census records, have been allowed as transcribed in order others may follow my line of research - what I believe to be the correct facts are those shown in the individual's heading/notes and on the tree).
HOWEVER, ALL THIS INFORMATION IS COPYRIGHT RESERVED AND IS NOT TO BE USED ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE OR NOTES COPIED WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. I APPRECIATE GENUINE RESEARCHERS WILL HAVE THE COURTESY OF CONTACTING THE TREE OWNER IF THEY WISH TO USE ANY OF THE INFORMATION, UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.
I have added a facility which gives me the IP addresses of those using the website and the period of time spent on it. If you have found the site of interest, please contact me through my hotmail address.
