Welcome to the site! 

I made a start on putting the family tree up here.. thanks to my brother 
Nick, who sent me a copy of his notes, and my cousin Jonathan who sent me his 
information!

I keep adding info from time to time as I find it, and of course, more research is 
needed, and certificates, etc., etc. Oh, and time would be nice too!

Other people who have sent information (and the information is noted as such) are:
- Martin Abbott (my scond cousin once removed), through Genes Reunited
- Ian and Maureen Barber (my first cousin, once removed), through Genes Reunited
- Christine Doye-Ward (Her husband Andy is my 6th cousin, three times removed), 
through Genes Reunited

If you are a member of the family, and see a mistake here, then contact me on 
the link in the section above and let me know!

I hope you find this site interesting!

I've used a couple of abbreviations for surnames where I do not know the 
actual surname:

- "(marr) xxx": man's surname is unknown, so I have used the wife's maiden name 
(i.e. someone who married into the family)
- "xxx (marr)": woman's maiden name is unknown, so I have used her married name 
(if she married more than once, the marriage into my family tree is used)
- "xxx (mat.)": child's surname is unknown. I have used the mother's maiden 
surname.
- "xxx (mat. (marr))": child's surname is unknown. Mother's maiden name is also 
unknown, so her married surname is used. (if she married more than once, the 
marriage into my family tree is used)

Obviously, when I find the correct surname, I will update it on the site!

Finally, I dedicate this site to the memory of the members of the family who died 
in the Great War:

Stranraer by U27) who died on 11 March 1915 (born 1881)
