This Family
Tree has been assembled from various sources and is an overview of more detailed information available elsewhere on
this website, as in most research it contains some assumptions based upon the
best available information. Some links have not been fully proven and are based
upon dates, ages & birthplace.
I have much
more on the descendants of some of these families

Important note – Due to the fact that there
are two William & Mary Rawles (or variant) in the area at this time, this
listing may be incorrect, some evidence seems to indicate that his wife was
Mary Norris who was born in Winfrith where her siblings are also shown. Some of
the children shown here may also be incorrect. Research continues and listings
will be updated as things become clearer! There may even be more Ralls / Rolls
/ Rawles / Rawls William & Mary couples in this area of
