Following information sent to me by Sarah Wright and updates from Mike Harris, I have spent the last week or two attempting to sort out the Plunkett family. I have added many more names and sources and although there are still grey areas and still more information to be added I have reached the stage where I can upload the new information. This has now been done and I welcome any comments you may have …
The Williams Family Tree has been updated with information from a number of sources including J. O. Thomas, Les Mead, Wendy Moyes and Paul Halliday. Many thanks to you all. This means there are over 69,700 individuals in the tree. Please keep it coming.
We also have quite a few new registered members so we’d like to take this opportunity of welcoming them to the fold and hope they find something of use to their research here.
There is a new facility on it’s way and once it has been fully tested it will be announced. Watch this space …
Thanks to Eric Marshall from Australia who discovered
the pair on the 1901 Census, it 
turns out that Winifred and Kathleen Boxshall were the daughters of Frank Arkwell Boxshall and Annie Helena Chamberlain who married in 1891, the marriage being registered in Woolwich, London. In 1901 the family were living in Epsom, Surrey and in 1911 Kingston, Surrey.
Frank Arwell Boxshall was the son of Thomas Boxshall and Mary Ann Arkwell who married on 27 Nov 1860 in Lambeth, London.
Annie Helena was the daughter of John and Hannah Chamberlain and it was her sister Mary Ann Letitia Chamberlain who married Henry Thomas Weeks.
This makes the Boxshall sisters to be Helen Willliams (nee Lambert) first cousins twice removed.
Thank you Eric for inspiring this research. More details will appear on the website in due course but at least now we have one less mystery to solve!
There is a major upgrade to The Williams Family Tree website in progress so things may be a little sticky for a while. Please bear with us as we attempt to make the site even better than before …
Having just found out about the “new” West Yorkshire BMD records on Ancestry I have updated the Williams Family Tree Toolbar to include links to the various databases. These are they:-
West Yorkshire, England, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1512-1812
West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1935
West Yorkshire, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1910
West Yorkshire, England, Deaths and Burials, 1813-1985
West Yorkshire, England, Confirmations 1859-1915
All the above links will open in a new window/tab.
