Documents

Below is a list of the family history stuff that I either have in my possession or items that I have access to through other sources.  I have finished the initial population of this list (6/9/8), but there will be further additions over time.

The items are listed under family groupings- my four grandparents (Orton, Hogley, Tew, Roberts) and Ginette's family (Rodgers), with relevant surnames listed under each sub-group.  If there are any items you would like to view or find out more about, please let me know.  I am very happy to share most documents- usually they can be scanned and emailed or photocopied and posted.

I would love to add any items belonging to family members or other interested parties here- please let me know if you are happy for me to add them to this list.
