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.

John was one of the original founders of Barclays bank. He and Thomas Gould formed the bank at Lombard Street, London in 1690.
His daughter, Priscilla Freame, was the second wife of David Barclay, and his daughter, Sarah Freame, married David's son, James, via his first wife, Ann Taylor.
For a brief period, the bank was also in partnership with the Bevan family, who David's daughter, Elizabeth, married into.
For a detailed account of the history of Barclay's and the various relationships, see the book "Barclays", by Margaret Ackrill & Leslie Hannah. Exracts at Google Books

Canon Robert Baker Girdlestone was the first Principal of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford.
He wrote several books about the Old Testemant, including "Synonyms of the Old Testament", published in 1871. This book served as a handbook for theological students for more than a century. His aim was to supply a concise reference for the busy reader and a volume that would be of real value to the beginner in Hebrew to help them study Christian doctrine in the light of OT terminology.
His third son, Gathorne Robert Girdlestone, became the first professor of orthopaedics in Britain, and founder of the Nuffileld Orthopaedic Centre in Headington, Oxford. Gathorne and Girdlestone Roads, each side of the Centre, are named in his honour. (See his notes)

Prof. Gathorne Robert Girdlestone F.R.C.S.
Gathorne Robert Girdlestone became the first professor of orthopaedics in Britain, and founder of the Nuffileld Orthopaedic Centre in Headington, Oxford. Gathorne and Girdlestone Roads, each side of the Centre, are named in his honour.
He studied at Charterhouse, at New College, Oxford and at St. Thomas' Hospital, London. He then settled at Oswestry, Shropshire, where his skill in orthopaedics, under the influence of Sir Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt, developed rapidly. On 1 December 1911, he beacame a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons.
Due to a chest injury, following a motorbike accident, he did not serve overseas in the first world war, but was placed in charge of the orthopedic division of a military hospital in Oxford. By 1922 the division had outgrown, and was transferred to nearby Wingfield Hospital, with Gathorne in charge.
In 1930, a donation of £70,000 from William Morris (later Lord Nuffield) helped with further expansion, and was renamed the Wingfield-Morris Orthopaedic Hospital, opened by the Prince of Wales in 1933.
In 1937, Gathorne became the first British Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery. He died 30 December 1950, in the same year the hospital was renamed the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre.
In 1919 Gathorne and Ina had moved to the "Red House" at 72 Old Road, Headington, where they stayed until 1948. It eventually became the Ruth Jolliffe School of Nursing and Nurses' Home, until it was demolished in 2005. New key worker accommodation homes were built on the site, and one is named Jolliffe House.
This new building has an Oxfordshire Blue Plaque placed in honour of Gathorne Robert Girdlestone which reads:
PROFESSOR GATHORNE ROBERT GRIDLESTONE "GRG" 1881-1950
Pioneering surgeon and founder of the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, lived in the Red House on this site 1919-1948.A photos of the plaque and buildings, along with further information about Gathorne, can be found at: http://www.headington.org.uk/history/famous_people/girdlestone.htm
and at: http://www.oxfordshireblueplaques.org.uk/blue-plaque-professor-gathorne-robert-(grg)-girdlestone-1881-1950.aspx
A glowing tribute to Gathorne was published in the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery HERE, and a detailed account of his career is found in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
