Tim Addison's Genealogy Webpages
Addisons of Westmorland, UK
Welcome to the Addisons of Westmorland Genealogy Web Site. This site documents branches of the Addison tree who originated in the Levens area of northwestern England in the 1600s and emigrated to Canada in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, including my own Great Grandfather, Thomas Powley Addison, who came to Canada in 1907. Like many other Addison researchers, I had hoped to trace my family tree back to the famous English writer, Joseph Addison. While I did not find any direct link to Joseph Addison, I discovered a family tree rich in history, with many interesting characters and connections. Perhaps the most noteworthy person in this family tree is Reverend Robert Addison, a missionary who founded one of the first churches of England in Canada in 1792 and who officiated at the funeral of Sir Isaac Brock during the War of 1812. Although largely overlooked by history, he played a key role in the early days of Upper Canada.
I hope you find something of interest in this site. I would be interested in hearing from you if you do. You can sign my guestbook, send me an email or write me a letter. My address is below. Tim Addison

About this site...
The first four features of this website were created using Legacy software which produces a listing of descendants and their families by generation with notes on individuals as well as a surname list, index, etc. Where possible I have included the text of indentures, wills and other legal documents which mention Addison family members as well as other members of the community. Researchers looking for their own family connections to the Levens, Heversham and Beathwaite Green area may find some names of interest in these documents. The other features (background, photos, links, etc) I have constructed myself using my limited knowledge of web-paging.
