“Some family trees have beautiful leaves, and some have just a bunch of nuts. Remember, it is the nuts that make the tree worth shaking.” - Author Unknown
This web site contains information about our family tree.
Because it has become more of a forest than a tree, it has been divided into eight sections, each section relates to the ancestors of each of our grand-parents. These are the Wilson, Wragg, Shacklock, Holmes, Spencer, Bissell, Daker and Revell families
I have deliberately limited this web site to grandparents and their ancestors, so as not to include living or recently deceased family members. This is to avoid embarrassing photos or confidentiality issues.
Researching your family history is something that has no end point, so I will continue to add to this site, as and when I find out more.
Researching family history is not straight forward, especially as people have this habit of not choosing unique names. Therefore, it is possible to make mistakes. If you think you have found something wrong on this web site, then please let me know.
If you have any information about these families that would be of interest, then again, please let me know.
I hope you enjoy this site.

Where I have found information on the internet which may be of interest, I have included links to these web sites.
In these cases, clicking on the link will open a separate browser window, so that you don't lose your position in this web site.
There are also a number of pdf documents on this web site. If you view any of these, they will also open in a separate browser window which you can just close when you have finished looking at the document.
