NOTE: This is a TEMPORARY WEBSITE ONLY, and is meant as a stopgap until the Main Website has been updated. Some of the notes are incomplete and many of the links will not work. There is still much data to add and conflicts to settle.This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not yet been added.
I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist. Individuals with uncertain details have a (see notes) label attached to their name.
If photos exist, they will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding more presentable feature pages containing notes, photos and links. These pages are shown to the right of their Scrapbooks, but are presently very few. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.
Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically filtered out of the Tree, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.
If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster

Recollections from John Bridgen:
Jessie was fond of an aunt Helen who married George Millar and lived at the Mill House, Emsworth. My uncle Harold had very happy memories of his childhood holidays, a month each summer, playing with Ted Phillips, gathering cockles, pumping water from the well and rowing on the mill-pond. Of the mill house, the stone floor was a firm recollection. My own father (always called Jack in the family) arrived on the scene too late to play any great part in these. I seldom heard him speak of Emsworth.Marriages Sep 1880
