I have created this website in memory of my husband Michael Taylor. My side of  the family has been well documented, but Michael knew very little about his  forbears. So for the benefit of our four sons and their children, I have  done some research, put it together with what we already knew, and am now  able to establish a fairly balanced family tree of six generations, as a  family resource.

Where a name appears in inverted commas, it is the name by which the person is  or was commonly known.

Where the same name occurs on both my husband's and my side of the family,  (e.g. William Taylor), I have distinguished them by entering [T-B] or [R-W] as  part of the name.

Please note that some of the dates are still subject to confirmation, and the  Holwell line appears to have a gap in it where dates are not compatible.
