Family History (Geneology)



Whilst gathering information for the book over many years I have amassed a considerable amount of family history dating back to the 17th century and in some cases even further. I also have many contacts around the world with people researching their families who have Compton Bishop connections.

The following are some of the families who lived in the parish for many generations:

Caple; Channon; Fowles; Fry; Hardwidge/Hardige; Hase/Harse; Stark; Tilley; Toogood; Vowles & Wickham

and many more names appear in parish registers and census.

I am willing to help, if I can, anyone with ancestors from Compton Bishop or Cross with their family history research.

I make no charge other than out of pocket expenses. However I do request that in return people send me any family information they have connected to the parish. My aim is to produce a comprehensive database about the parish for future generations.

Thomas Prowse, (died 1769)
Lord of the manor of Compton Bishop and gentleman architect.
