    Crowle
    A Nonagenarian
    Mrs Mary Wheaton, who resides on Crowle Moor is, we understand, Crowle's oldest inhabitant. She celebrated her 93rd birthday on Wednesday the 13th inst. Out of her family of twelve children only three are still living; but she has thirteen grandchildren, and fourteen great grandchildren. Although blind, and somewhat infirm, she is remarkably bright and cheery, and still takes a deep interest in current events. She has been a member of the Baptist Church for fifty-one years and today is its oldest member.

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.
