My family historyMy ancestors lived in different parts of England and included cork cutters, coppersmiths and a convict. You will also find bakers, bricklayers, coopers, artists, doctors of medicine, a mathematician, a sailor 'prest' into the navy, and the illegitamate offspring of a knight. These webpages show a little of what I have discovered about them.The main surnames are Bussey (& Bussy), Dance, Denham (& Dinham), Figgins, Fitzgerald, Mason, Matthews (& Mathews), Phillips, Wells, Wheeler, and Whittaker. If you recognise one of these families please contact me by email at Richard@badsey.net. Here is my personal homepage. Good luck with your own family history! Richard Phillips |
