I am researching my mother's family from England

Surnames: Binley/Bindley & Hargrave/Hargreaves of Leicestershire (Foxton & Leicester)

Surnames: Yarrow & Tombleson of Cambridgeshire (March and Doddington)

Surnames: Woodward & Long of Oxfordshire (Hanborough)

Surnames: Kilfoyle & Ware of London

I am anxious to find my father's family (Evans),
who may have been from in or around Toronto, Canada.
See his story below.

Hourglass Tree

An "Hourglass Tree" looks a bit like an hourglass, with ancestors above the subject and descendants below. It's pretty lopsided, because my Dad's side is almost a blank! Any living person has their details shown as "Private." Click on the link to the PDF (Portable Document Format) to view (get the Adobe Viewer at the link above, if you can't read the file). This PDF is quite wide, but still searchable, so you can look for a specific name, date, or location.
