The Earnshaw Family Web Site
Current On-going Projects
It is all too easy to get side-tracked onto many areas of parallel research, especially when contacted by someone who has found a name in the tree. I will continue to answer questions and carry out small amounts of research on names when contacted. But mostly I will attempt to concentrate on completing specific areas of research before moving onto another. (famous last words!! - I still can't resist a challenge, however remote the twig is)
At present I am trying to complete, as far as is reasonably possible, the descendants of James Blackmore and Grace Rendle. The only other project that is active is into Jack Kenneth Sunderland Earnshaw during WW2.
Since we were going to Exeter in October 2005, I searched for further information on the Best family in Exmouth, but this is normally a third priority task.
- Complete documentation of what happened to Jack Kenneth Sunderland Earnshaw in Singapore during World War 2
- Try to discover what "Work Party 2" on the Thailand Railway was and where it was based
- Trace William Blackmore's family- remaining tasks are :
- The marriage of his daughter Florence Mary (married name Boxhall)
- The descendants of his son William Henry who was building railways in Malaya
- Need to Visit the grandson again to view the information he has
- Descendants of Samuel John - living in London in 1920 and died in Ilfracombe 1950
- Any information on the work on the railways of William and his son William Henry
- Descendants of his daughter Lucy Grace (married name Garnish)
- Talk to grandson of George Frederick Blackmore as he has a lot of memories
- The Earnshaw family
- Confirm the origins of the Denholme/Wilsden Earnshaw family starting with the birth of John born in 1786 - almost certainly the son of Martha (b 1769)
- If true then confirm back to Samuell Earnshay in about 1586
- Use censuses and parish records to correct and expand on the Oxenhope families
- I think I have now traced all descendants of John Earnshaw and Martha Farrar through to 1901 - other than those who died as infants
- Trace more of the Thorn(e) Family of Devon during 19th Century
- Try to sort out which John Thorne, baptised in 1800 at South Molton, was ours - there were two, both with father called William
- Trace the Best family of Exmouth before 1750s and track more branches forward in time
- Find further information on the Gibson / Potter / Abell families of East London
- Index and publish the Lindley family history from 15th century including effects of Holmfirth flood of 1852
- Sort out and publish the photographs we have been amassing
