My Family Tree

On this page I will attempt to tell the tale of my Family Tree.
It has been quite an adventure discovering all about my ancestors, and a very rewarding experience.

I have traced my ancestors back as far 1801 on both sides. The family names I am researching are: 
Perrett.  Hooper. Hamblin.  Cook.  Sweatman.  Foster.  Pratt.  Childs.


My parents were born in Gloucestershire, and were third cousins.  I discovered the Hooper connection and traced them back to Sherborne, Gloucestershire. The gravestone pictured belongs to William Hooper, a great,great,cousin who was a pipe and tabour man for Sherborne Morris during the 1880's. As a devoted morris dancer myself that was quite an exciting find.

   

Here are some useful sites I have discovered:

www.ancestry.co.uk        www.familysearch.org
www.genuki.org.uk        www.cyndislist.com         www.GenesReunited.co.uk

My Family Tree also goes back as far as the Norman Conquest and so I share ancesters with many other people who have published their finds on-line.
This page will develop, and as soon as it is done I will put the whole tree here and anyone finding a link with me, please get in touch:
