The Albrow (Aldborough) Family:


Our ancestors - some of the first we ever found!  Our research into this family has extended far and wide and we still have more to find.  

The Gray Family:

It was around 1775 when this family appeared in the village of Reedham.  A gap in the registers has left some questions about  where the Grays could have originated.  

The Layton Family:

This family lived in Reedham for some time and is distantly related.
