How sure are we? Cards with a green ✓ are backed by a record we have linked (a newspaper notice, cemetery register, gazette or parish record). Dashed cards come from the family's tree file and have not yet been checked against a record. Dotted cards are unverified or conflict with another source. If you can confirm or correct anything, please use the contact form or the chat assistant. Your message comes straight to us privately.

I have taken all due care to respect the privacy of individuals. Information published in the family tree is to be respected. If you believe any information in this website is wrong please inform me with reference material and I will rectify it as soon as possible. Richard Ruff - website manager.
