Welcome!
We haven't been researching our genealogy
for very long and pretty much everything we have is from census,
birth, marriage and death information online. We have mainly
used Ancestry.co.uk, IGI, ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk and FreeBMD. More recently
this has been extended to other people sharing information too.
Please note that the further back in time we get the more conjecture
is used. We have tried to make notes explaining the validity
of some of the sources and are quite happy with the information
in general.
Births dates for individuals are sometimes a date given for
a christening. Also, death dates could actually be burial dates.
Our primary family names are: Wallace, Mara, Smith and Shambrook.
We also have a lot of the following names: Swain, Sharp, Aylott,
Keary, Climie, Turner, Honeybul, Felstead and Swallow as well
as many others.
Many thanks to Catherine Pritchard, Catharine Andriani,
Doreen Furby, Bill Jones, Alan Swain, Tony Climie, Leanne Chilver,
our families and everyone else who has helped (sorry if I haven't
mentioned you).
I have been using Family
Tree Maker software to collate my information. I'm not sure
it is the best package on the market. I can however thoroughly
recommend the TNG web software used.

Report on the death of Robert
Mara
I have found reports on the death of Robert Mara in the
local Croydon newspapers. He was knocked down by a bread
van in 1924. The Croydon Times report can be found here.
The Shambrook Family
The name Shambrook arrived in England after the Norman
Conquest of 1066.
The Wallace Family
The Wallace Family Coat of Arms can trace its roots back
to ancient times.
