Family History of
ARTHUR FRENCH
I keep my
family details on Brother's Keeper. Here are some of the main lines:
FRENCH: William French ca 1540 - 1614 lived
Mylcombe, Oxon; the family moved to South Newington
and then Hook Norton, Oxon. (links: Stranke, Harris, Wyet, Mayo) Samuel French
1777 - 1846 moved to Buckingham. At this time, two Frenches married STUCHBERY,
and there are many descendants with that surname in England
and Australia.
My grandfather Benjamin was a chemist in Gosport, Hants (links:
BATCHELOR, Biddle, Page, Lucas, Wilson,

Her ancestor Thomas Edward Taylor Clough, son of Samuel and Catherine, was a
