The outline tree shows our Oxfordshire ancestry through the male line as far back as it has been possible to go from the more easily available records.

Work is underway to fill in the details for each generation. Information from others who have compiled their trees has been much appreciated. For example:

• Ethel Lawley in Australia who descends from Richard Brogden (1787 - 1880) and supplied much useful information on her ancestry;
• Susan Downes of Witney, Oxfordshire is also in contact and descends from Richard's brother George's daughter Hannah (1820 - 1892);
• Grace Morrow and Diane Brice in New Zealand;
• David Brogden in Cumnor, Oxfordshire;
• Anne Cherry in Kidlington, Oxfordshire;

We would like to hear of other links.

Extracts from the early pages of the Oxfordshire Brogdens' family tree.

There are now several hundred Brogdens in this tree, coverning 10 generations and all descending from George who married Elizabeth Brown at Bampton (Oxfordshire) in 1709. Brogdens sharing this ancestry are still to be found in Oxfordshire as well as further afield in England and abroad. There is a large branch of the family in New Zealand and others have been traced to Australia and the USA.

The latest version of the tree of George Brogden's descendents, which extends to over 20 pages, can be obtained by Brogden researchers by:

• emailing Mike Brogden on mike@brogden.info for a Word version;

• please include with your request, information about your connection with the Brogdens and your location.

Extracts from the early pages of the Oxfordshire Brogdens' family

tree.

The first known Oxfordshire Brogden is George Brogden (Labourer/blacksmith) b. 1685? Stanton Harcourt? m 01/10/1709 Bampton (OMI) d. 15/06/1740 SH ( but this record might be of his son) married Elizabeth Brown (OMI) b.? d. 15/06/1740 SH

• The George Brogden in the SH record who was buried on 15/06/1740 could be this George or his son.
• Grace Morrow's information is that Elizabeth was buried in 1741 but this is not in the SH records. The SH records show an Elizabeth Brogden "wife of George" buried on 20/07/1718. If the 1718 date is correct, did George remarry?
• A Hannah Brogden "widow" was buried on 16/10/1748 in SH who could be a second wife to George. She could also be the wife of son George although there is no record of George marrying in SH
• The SH records have a burial of John Brogden on 13/05/1771. Who is he?
