My Ancestors

Below is a list of my direct ancestors, beginning with my great-grandparents and working backwards to my 4x great-grandparents. There are a few 5x and 6x great-grandparents in my database which I will add to the list eventually. In the future I will try to add some more details (at least some dates, but probably places as well) for each individual on this page.

Clicking those names which are highlighted will take you to an Ancestral Profile blog post about that ancestor.

    What a great page John. I like how this looks and it also helps to keep track of those ancestors you have posted profiles about. Would you mind if I added a page to my own blog with the same layout?

    Hi John, your LILLIAN BOXALL was a sister of my grandfather WILLIAM JOHN b.1890. I have two photo’s of WILLIAM & DOROTHY, one when they were young & another when they were older (taken about 1964ish)

    I don’t see anything about the GASSON lines or their localities: perhaps I haven’t explored sufficiently. Someone with your name all but killed an ancestor of mine 300 years ago in a brawl at a fair at what is now Burgess Hill, the area which I research.

    I am sad to say that WALTER (WALLY) MITCHELL has died aged 95. He was the son of LILLIAN BOXALL & GEORGE MITCHELL. His funeral was on Monday the 1st of august, in Singleton

    Hello,

    I came across your page whilst googling my newly found ancestors the Drivers of Framfield. I believe I descend from Jane Driver who married Richard Wood. Their daughter Sarah had an illegitimate son William born 1802, my G-G-G-Grandfather, who migrated to Australia in 1839. Jane was the daughter of Robert Driver snr. and Elizabeth. Interesting to read what you have found.

    Cheers,

    Kelly.

    Really really interested in your family tree search adn thought you might be interested n mine. My grandfather Frederick Sayers was born at Ruckford Mill and was a miller all his life at Cobbs Mill. He and my grandmoher lived at Gatlands in Langotn Lane and my mum was born in Goldbridge Cottage as was my sister and brother. On my mothers side she was related to a Katherine Haybittle so are we distantly related? Would love to hear from you to discuss further
