Photos

The photograph at the top right of each page is of the Mann family. My grandmother, Agnes Mann Feavearyear, is on the left hand side of the back row. The others in the picture are her brothers and sisters, as well as her parents, John Mann, originally from Carnwath, Lanarkshire, Scotland & Laura Moyes of Kelsale, Suffolk. The young man in the middle of the back row is James Mann who was killed 30 Oct 1918 while on active duty in Belgium and is buried in the cemetery in Mons, Belgium. The above photo on this page is of myself and my mother, Anne (Rush) Feavearyear (1938-1996), with Penny the Yorkshire Terrier.

My Ancestors

You can see a table of my ancestors to my great-great-great grandparents here. The predominant surnames in my ancestry are Feavearyear, Mann, Rush and Fordham and originate almost exclusively from Suffolk, with my great grandfather John Mann's family moving down to Suffolk from Carnwath, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
