EVENTS IN THE LIVES OF OUR ANCESTORS

THIS is a very basic list of events for our direct ancestors, ordered by date. Linked names will take you to the 'Lines' chart, which might be useful in distinguishing between, say, a father and son who share the same name. Linked places and occupations go to relevant web pages or simply to that location in Google Maps. (One or two land on my own pages, and the aim is to eventually replace external links with internal ones.) For the sake of consistency, I've appended all towns, villages etc with their modern counties or regions so, for example, it's "Battersea, London", not "Battersea, Surrey". Copyright attributions for thumbnail images (where known) appear in the tooltip. Annett ancestors are in the left column, Ealey ancestors in the right.

And he always is blessed with a charming young wife
And he pays all his debts without sorrow or strife
And always lives pleasant and charming..." (Full text)
