My Related Websites

• Townsley Family History web site (1997-2011) - the first Townsley web site that outgrew the web space provided by Tesco. Now closed and info about the Sheeky, Strangeway, Dawson, Healey, Parker, Shepherd, Sutcliffe and Tattersfield families moved to this site or a dedicated family surname site (see below).

• Strangways-Towneley database. This covers members of the British Peerage and Landed Gentry from the Middle Ages to the 20th century starting from the Strangeway / Strangways and the Towneley family pedigrees. It is unconnected with the Townsley families!

• Brotherton Village Family Trees - a study of families by location; started as a spin-off from tracing all the Townsley families that lived in the area.

• Sheeky Family Trees - the latest web site for the Sheeky / Sheekey familes

• Strangeway Family Trees - the latest web site for the Strangeway(s) / Strangway(s) familes
