Changes 2023/2024
  • Re-organised the Barker and Fielden families.
  • Members of the Alexander/Bannerman/Joynson/MacLaren families added.
  • New entries in the Shackleton family in Ireland.
    The information is mainly from the "secondary" source WikiTree website, so caution is required.
    We will look for primary sources to confirm the information.
  • Refresh and correct information on Shackleton family in England


Format and Content Changes 2022
  • The format & content of the individual person page has changed.
    A "Key Events" section has been added showing ONLY the Birth, Marriage, and Death events for the person.

    A "Location by Decade" section shows a summary of where we have located a person,
    this include any census entries where we have identified them, the 1939 survey of UK residents,
    and "Location" and "Living" data where available.

    The "Detailed Timeline" shows all events for the person, and some events for their parents and children.

  • All census entries, including UK, USA, and Canada, are being converted to "Census".
  • The "Place Clarification" pages have been moved to a new web sub-site,
    making them more widely accessible. More miscellany items will be added there.


Changes 2021

  • We have moved 83 people in a Higson family from our main website to this site,
