Amazing how many families and how many different routes one can take in following a family down the ages. So far we have managed to return to the 1500s and have made links with so many different families, most notably the Nicholsons and the Stable families of the west lakes, around Gosforth, Seathwaite, Arlecdon and many places in between.
I started off with the Sherwens, found out we could go back and connect with royalty but what we would really like is more information about our Sherwen family. I know, for example, there was a Robert Sherwen living in Gosforth around 1550 - he is our forebear and the furthest back so far I can go, but I know nothing else about him, apart from his marriage to Elizabeth, his two daughters and a son.
So far I've managed to put in a lot of names and dates but it's all a bit jumbled and I still have a lot more to put in. Once that's sorted, I hope to order the information better and put in some links, pictures, family trees... a lot of work to do!
