Family History

The Withernwick Genealogy / Family History Page

The point of this page is to help visitors to the website who have arrived because of names of suspected ancestors that they know have some connection with Withernwick. On the Tales page and the Photo Gallery is lots of information on villagers from times past, so simply look for the name in the list (in alphabetical order) and click on the links, if they are not here, it may be they haven't been added yet,
so have a look on the Photo Gallery or Tales page..
If you do find your ancestor, and it has been of help, can you please let me know via the Contact Us page.
Especially if you can offer me more information, dates, photos etc and help build the information on the website.
(This page is under construction and I will keep adding names to it as I get a chance).
