Hello. I have been working on my family tree since I was about 7 years old, scribbling down a list of names that I was so amazed that my (Great) Uncle Bert knew. My tree is mainly from the Isle of Wight, Hampshire, England. I have a few branches off to Ireland, a Cornish twig, and a Dorset twig amongst others. Then I have my paternal mother's family, the 'strange side'...
A couple of years ago I made contact with a distant relative who had a copy of a scribbled family tree, written in the early 1900s. It went back to the 1480s. Whilst taking all this with a pinch of salt, over the last few years I have been trying to substantiate each item on this piece of paper. One person has suggested to me that it was compiled using dates derived from Wills, and that is now certainly looking like the case.
I was searching for HOW or HOWE on the internet for the nth time when I found a mention of Frances HOW nee RODD. I had found her marriage to 'my' Alexander HOW (one of a long line of Alexander HOWs!) on the IGI, but had got no further. Could 'my' Frances RODD be a co-heiress from Herefordshire? No, surely not! So I researched the RODDs, finding the very knowledgable Michael Faraday, and yes, it looks like she is the same one. I have gone off on tangents, looking at the WHITNEYs, the LUCYs, the NEALEs, and the UVEDALEs. All of a sudden it doesn't seem so absurd that the HOW tree that I had started off with includes/or could include the HOWE, GROBHAM, LE SCROPE, THYNNE and CURZON families.
I am very interested in finding out more about Frances RODD and her family. I have found some tantalising documents on British History online (bless them!) which dovetail in with a Will, and an Administration, and a Clergyman ... but, ah, my head is spinning ... the more you find out, the more confusing it gets ... genealogy is seldom straightforward. I have found a possible Will for Frances, but it does not mention anything that ties in. (Perhaps by that point in her life it didn't need to?) My aim is to explore further documents surrounding Frances, her two sisters, and her parents; hoping that somewhere along the line I'll find a tangent which explains away some of my HOW problems!
