The Townsend-Milewicz Family HistoryThe Townsend FamilyIntroductionFor the time being (Feb 2006), there are no additional pages. Over the next 2 weeks I shall slowly build on these pages and upload various photos and data that I have covering the following family names. In teh meantime, feel free to email me if you wish to find out the information I have on the familes listed.
Welcome to the Townsend-Milewicz family history. As you will discover, it is much more than simply the Townsend and Milewicz branches. The Townsend family derives from my husband (Damian). He began down this path with a small interest in learning about his grandfather, who had died very young (45 years). From here, he learnt that a former Mayor was in his history (Samuel Townsend). Well, you all know how the rest follows. We hit a brick wall with George's ancesters and are still trying to find ways to push through. I know we will eventually. All secrets get discovered one day! My grandparents, Sidney and Merle Lake spent the last 20 years of their lives researching our genealogy (Lake, Sandry, Ellem and Gawthorne). They had managed to take several branches back to the 1200-1300s. A great disappointment of my grandfather's was the fact that he was unable to trace his own Lake family back further than 2 generations. Throughout these pages I have pulled information from many family sources. While a lot of the research has fallen to myself, credit for the Lake side of the family, which emcompasses the branches Sandry (Saundry), Ellem and Gawthorne is due entirely to the tireless efforts of my grandparents, Sidney and Merle Lake. I only hope that they have some way of viewing this information from the branches they now grace. |
