One Family History
The website explores the ancestors of Victor Vowles (b. 1908) and his wife Rachel Hoyland (b.1916). This takes the family across many counties of England, including: Somerset, Gloucestershire, Derbyshire, West Riding of Yorkshire, Berkshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire. Their ancestors include some interesting characters whose backgrounds are as varied as the places they come from ranging from paupers to a wealthy factory owner.
The website is organised around the four main branches of the tree - Vowles, Weaver, Hoyland and Roulstone. If you share ancestors with us we would love to hear from you. I've been researching for well over 20 years and have lots more than is on here.
