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.

He was a native of this parish and by the guidance and blessing of Divine Providence rose from comparative obscurity to considerable influence and wealth in the prosecution of an extensive business he possessed the confidence and respect of his numerous connections and was distinguished alike for soundness of judgement, great energy and decision of character, untiring diligence, and inflexible integrity. In domestic relations he was a pattern of filial devotedness, of conjugal affection, and of parental tenderness, and he died deeply regretted as he had lived greatly beloved by his family and friends.Also of his wife LUCY HEALD who died on the 26th January 1844 in the 85th year of her age.
