FAMILY TREES
Like the visible part of an iceburg, the family trees included beneath represent a small part of the raw material that myself and others currently have. If you know what names you are seeking information on, it is often quite helpful to use the Google site specific search engine. Individual names may appear in many trees and in many other sources such as letters, wills and maps. Good luck and let me know if you find a connection and would like to share more information.
I have also posted a tree (with information on names and dates of living family members not included) at: Rootsweb: silverbowl It will be updated from time to time.

Detailed Descendant Trees These
trees include a great deal of family detail beyond the usual birth, death
& marriage. They are extensively footnotes with sources for most data
given..WARNING. If
you have a slow modem, some of these files will take some time to download
as they have more than 200 footnotes. |

Outline Descendant Trees
NOTE: These types of family trees are basic tree showing only name,
birth, married & death.They should download quite quickly. I have
noted them in red. |

| Bartley, George descendants Mid 1700s - This tree makes sense of many of the complex family connections between the Bartley, Reed, McKean and other families. The formatting needs work, but it is still readable. WARNING: Long file. | November 5, 2003 |
| George BARTLEY & Margaret ORR descendants. This is an update of the previous file - an amazing piece of work undertaken by Wendy Jack with more than 600 footnoted entries. It is divided into four sections since as a single file it is too large for my computer and software to handle with any effiiciency. Even as it is, some of the files are quite large. In time, I will find a more elegant solution to this problem. In the meantime, I wanted to share the stories.The BARTLEY family included many military men, doctors and clergy. Their commitments and fortunes took them all over the world and their stories reveal a family-sized echo of what was happening on a larger scale with the great outwash of the British Empire. | September 5, 2005 |
| Bartley generations 1-4 In this first section, there is considerable detail on Walter Tyler BARTLEY (see #47) who was killed in action in 1846 at the Battle of Sobraon in India. Also there is fascinating detail on Rev. John COULTER (see #31) who was influential in the movement to merge the two secessionist synods of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and was also active in the Tenant League movement. | |
| Bartley generation 5
John Hamilton GRAY as premier of PEI hosted the Charlottetown
Conference in 1863 which laid the ground work for Canada's Conferation some
four years later. Regrettably for GRAY, the people of PEI rejected union
at that time and he resigned. Had he stayed in office for another four years,
one of life's ironies is that the Fathers of Confederation would have included
two John Hamilton GRAYs - the second was premier of NB. Acheson George Henry GILMORE, Samuel GILMORE and David JACKSON are all related to Sir Thomas JACKSON are part of the larger HSBC story. (The last I know of this Samuel GIMORE is that he was a Japanese prisoner of war in a Hong Kong hotel) |

| Bartley generation 6
It is in this generation that we witness the personal costs of the Boer
War and WWI. Roland Ernest LORD was invalided out of Boer War in 1900, only to
go back. Three brothers lost their lives: George Barlow BARTLEY DENNISS
in the defence of Wagon Hill in the Boer War; Henry Barlow BARTLEY DENNISS died in 1913; Thomas Vivian BARTLEY DENNISS died of wounds in 1918. John Franklyn PETERS was killed at Ypres where he is remembered
in a memorial on the same tablet as his brother, Gerald Hamilton PETERS, who went missing, presumed dead. The
saddest story in my mind is that of Eric Skeffington POOLE who "had the unenviable distinction of being the first British Army officer
executed during World War I." The full story is beneath. David Clements BATES also died in WWI. Later, during WWII, Thomas Jackson HOUSTON died of dysentry as a prisoner of war in Hong Kong We also see more connections with the Far East and banking in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Robert Thomas WRIGHT and David JACKSON, both managers at HSBC, Yokohama; John Stevenson Reed WRIGHT with the Imperial Bank of Persia, James Francis WRIGHT in Hong Kong with a brokerage. |

| Bartley generation 7 A couple more HSBC connections are detailed here: Robert Thomas WRIGHT, Thompson BROWN{E). | |
Birch Family - Five Generations Early 1700s - This document is some 20 pages long with 420 footnotes and gives a detailed family tree for the descendants of James BIRCH and Mary JACKSON from the early 1700s until the middle of the 20th Century. No living persons are included. It was prepared by Wendy Jack of Australia. |

| Birch, James & Mary Jackson
Five generations in an outline descendant tree
format. NOTE: This includes the family of the noted Thomas Ledlie Birch of 1798 fame. |

| BREAKEY Outline family treeThe tree beneath has all the sources and details, but this is faster to download if all you want is a snapshot. | December 4, 2005 |
BREAKEY This tree is likely filled with errors - particularly in the early years. Please consult it with that in mind. There is better and more complete information to be found at a web site called The Breakey Collection. In time, I shall put it all to rights. |

| BROWNE This family tree is the one that most reliably connects to my grandmother, June Edgar BROWNE. The connections to the BROWNE family tree beneath are alleged, but the links still need to be both found and proven. | August 4, 2004 |
| Browne, Sir Anthony Descendants This is definitely a DRAFT level of tree, but it is an attempt to knit together the original MONTAGUE line of BROWNEs from whom the Westport BROWNEs are imputed to be descended. These BROWNEs are otherwise known as the MONTEAGLE BROWNEs. The file is close to twenty pages long - so it will require some patience if you are on a slow modem. Sorry. | August 4, 2004 |
| Browne, The line connected to Janeville, Co. Down I am still in sleuth mode on the BROWNE family & have yet to figure out how the Monteagles and the Montagues and our Brownes all connect. | August 4, 2004 |
| Dickie, Samuel James descendants This tree is based in large measure on a 1900s pedigree. It is lengthy and generally trustworthy (I believe), but has little in the way of back-up documentation and dates.WARNING: It may take some time to load. | September 27, 2004 |
| Dill, David Descendants 1640- NOTE: This is not really a very successful format, but it does contain information up to the generation of Robert MOORHEAD and the MOORE family. | June 26, 2003 |
| Dill, John Descendants
Eight generations in an outline descendant
tree format. NOTE: There is no named wife for John Dill who was born 1620. |
July 14, 2003 |
| Eager-Edgar Eight generations This is the family tree that leads from the EAGERs of Scotland in the time of Charles I to the connection with the BROWNE family tree in the 1870s. I am indebted to Tony Browne, and before him Michael Browne for the work which produced this tree. There may still be errors, but we will get to these. | August 6, 2004 |
| Gilmore Family - Five Generations 1735 - This tree includes a few names of living persons. | December 5, 2003 |
| Gilmore, Alexander & Elizabeth Birch Five Generations in an outline descendant tree format. NOTE: Alexander Gilmore was born 1735. He married Elizabeth BIRCH March 14, 1760 (Her first husband was William BREAKEY who died sometime between 1758-1760) | July 14, 2003 |
| Griffin Family This tree starts in the mid-1800s. This family has close connections with the JACKSON family, although the exact link is yet to be discerned. | April 28, 2004 |
| Jackson Family - Five Generations Early 1700s - This document is 16 pages long and has 267 footnotes. It was prepared by Wendy Jack of Australia. No living persons are included. | August 15, 2003 |
| Jackson, George &
Margaret O'Laughlan, 1700s Five generations in an outline
descendant tree format. NOTE: This tree goes from the first JACKSON
we have record for in our family tree to the generation of Sir Thomas JACKSON.
Hyperlinks link back to biographies on the various family members for
whom they have been prepared. |

| Johnston descendants of James Johnston & Elizabeth Leslie This family is already linked through the BIRCH connection, but there will likely be more connections as I pursue more of the usual elusive bits. Many thanks to Wendy Jack for the sourcing that produced this particular tree. I will never be as diligent as she and am grateful - always! | August 29, 2005 |
| Johnstons of Gilford and Gildhall This tree is of interest for two reasons. Gilford is the town where several early family members resided, principally the BIRCH family. Also, the mention of HAWKINS is a hook, given the fact of Villiers Alweyn Caesar HAWKINS who was claimed to be a cousin of Sir Thomas JACKSON. | February 21, 2006 |
| McKean, James This is a page in progress. I will add links to Bartley and such. | September 24, 2004 |
| Martin, Allan of Ringfad This tree starts in 1773 and has many links with biographies that I have already complied. It is a first draft | May 5, 2004 |
| Menary, Alexander descendants Early 1800s. The link to the MENARY family is that Mary Jackson - the sister of Sir Thomas Jackson married Alexander Menary | November 7, 2003 Rev. Aug 2, 2005 |
| Orr, Samuel John Corbett This tree was contributed thanks to Robyn M Condliffe | May 5, 2004 |
| Tollemache, Lionel This tree contains the three generations of Tollemaches who precede John Tollemache beneath. I don't have dates here, but I figure early 1600s. | August 11, 2004 |
| Tollemache, John 1710-1777. He is a great-great grandparent of Amelia Lydia DARE, wife of Sir Thomas JACKSON. | August 6, 2004 |
| Wright, John family descendants
1587 - Again, the formatting is less than glorious, but still useable. Currently living people are included as well as photos of Gola & Carrachor. |
