    Information from Linda SMITH née PRESS 18th May 2004
    One other PRESS researcher and I have done an in depth search of the PRESS name as it is not an English name. Originally there was only two main groups of PRESSes in the country, in Somerset and the Suffolk and Norfolk area. The Somerset group tend to think they are from France, although Brittany was then part of Gt. Britain. We are not so sure with our group. My family are in Lowestoft in the 1600's. After the Battle of Lowestoft, which was between us and the Dutch, both sides claimed victory, We signed a peace treaty, and started trading again with the Dutch. Then lots of PRESS names start appearing on the Parish records. The battle involved over 240 ships and was so terrible that Samuel Pepys writes in his diaries that he could hear it in London. Robert and Susan PRESS had their first son, Matthew, in 1681, but I can find no marriage for Robert and Susan and no birth for Robert. So where have they got married? Could it be Holland? France? Or even Germany?
    During the 1800's lots more PRESSes appear; many of these are from Russia and Poland and are normally Jewish. They were being persecuted at this time by the Tsars. PRESS is quite a common name in Russia. 
    Another large group of PRESSes were living in Nottingham, but we have been told these came from the Somerset Group. 
    A large group of my family left Great.Yarmouth in 1875 and went to live in London although a lot of them remained in Yarmouth until quite recent. Elizabeth PRESS, born 1890, died in Gorleston in 1976. She never married and purchased a Lifeboat for the RNLI, named the Joseph B. Press after her late father. Seven hundred and forty seven items went to the museum in Norfolk, but many items had been stolen in a robbery at her house shortly before she died. The Police think it was a gang of sophisticated antique thieves. The rest of the money all went to charities, The Shipwreck Mariners Society, Seamans missions and a childrens home.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
