As the family history research develops, a number of biographies have been discovered. Whilst efforts continue to locate and exchange information with the authors of these biographies, they nevertheless provide an interesting insight into the lives and times of some of our ancestors.

If anyone can provide any information on contacting any of the authors I would be most interested and grateful for that information.

Additionally, if there are any other biographical sketches for any of our listed ancestors which you feel could be shared here, please let me know the details.
