I started my family tree with the hope of finding out my Grandparents names,  not realising that I would become hooked on this.
 The main names of my family are POOLE of course and I thought they would be  mainly from Derby but I was wrong we go as far as from Worcestershire,  Glostershire and my Great grandmother on this branch was originally from  London.The main occupation in Worcestershire was working in the leather trade The JERRAMS my fathers mothers family are from Breaston Derbyshire and were in  the bootmaking trade.

The FLETCHERS AND KERRY'S are from Smalley and were Framework knitters, I hope  to add some information about the trades mentioned here in the future, the  scandel of the family seems to be that Martha Fletcher had 5 children and  never married, I find that amazing as she lived in such a small village. I have visited the church in Smalley and found my 6x great grandparents Thomas  KERRY and Elizabeth GOLLINGS grave, also next to them are my 7 x  greatgrandparents Thomas KERRY and Ann HOLLAND

On my Mothers side I have at the moment hit a brick wall with my grandmother  and up to now have only found out her name>>> Mary Margaret BREEN.

My Grandfathers family name is THOMPSON and also in the family are SKILBECKS,  BAINES and CAVEEN.
 The THOMPSONS and SKILBECKS come from the Yorkshire area and I am still  finding out about their occupations.

Ann CAVEEN my great great grandmother is from the Isle of Man and I hope in  the future to visit and find out more.

I have started to add the tree of my husband Clayton Paul Simpson
