Information gleaned from routine Family History research (such as births, marriages and deaths and census returns) is just added as it’s found and not reported on this page.

What you tell me !! Please look through your part of the tree,
and see what I’m missing … places and hobbies are most welcome!
2025-26 Continued
the UK 1921 census; as at Jan 2026 I have covered most folk with surnames A-G –
the tree now covers 12,712 individuals in 4,241 families.
Aug 2024 – I have started looking up the
UK 2021 census; so far covered surnames A-C … it’s a long job!
Jul/Aug 2021 – A partial update of the
Birch family, plus a “mental detour” when I looked at a few other branches!
Sadly, I received news of the deaths of two members of the Australian branch of
the Moores family.
Nov 2020 – The coronavirus has given me a
bit more time to do research! Another G-Grandparent, this time the Moore family
(not Moores!). This spell of research has identified the first of my 512 great
great great great great great great great great great grandparents!
April 2020 – Another G-grandparent; on my
side, the Harris/Benson ancestors. I’m doing more while in Corona-virus
lockdown!!
January 2020 – Another
Great-grandparent’s family … Katie’s FLEMING ancestors.
November 2019 – Another GG, on my side
the COOK family.
October 2019 – another GG analysed and
updated, on Katie’s side, the SUNDERLAND family. The family tree now covers
over 10,000 individuals!
August 2019 – another GG analysed and
updated, on my side, the MOORES family.
March 2019 – major updates to our
great-grandparents’ descendents and antecedents; on Katie’s side the MYERS and
CLARK, on my side the MARKHAM families.
October 2018 – Minor updates, but
extensive research on BARROW and LEONARD families
June 2018
·
Lots of updates, notably the descendents
of John and Alice Birch.
Feb 2018
·
Lots of updates … I have managed to go a
bit further ”upwards” (back in time) and downwards (more recent); inevitably
this means sideways as well!

I now have a subset of this tree on the
Ancestry database; those of you who have access to Ancestry can find it as
“Harris-Clark family tree” (those who don’t may be able to lok at it via their
public library); the Ancestry system contains links to the supporting
documents, such as BMD or census records.
Sept 2017
In a fit of madness, I thought I’d
compute some statistics from the family history. Prototype results now there –
average age of first marriage, over time. It will be extended shortly.
August 2017
I have not been keeping this page
up-to-date! So let me tell you what I
have been doing recently.
I am copying significant parts of this
tree onto an “Ancestry tree” on the Ancestry database; the main reason for this
is that the Ancestry software makes finding additional information about
someone much easier if you have their basic details on a “tree”. This one is
called the “Harris-Clark” family tree.
This has produced lots of detail for our
ancestors 2-3 generations back, which I have been copying to this one – so for
example I’m getting quite a lot of exact dates of birth, christening or death
from these records. I am NOT adding “known to be living” people onto Ancestry –
even though such names are not generally visible – for reasons of privacy.
