Hi John,

My name is Tim Farr and my great grandmother was Mary Ann Doxey daughter  of Thomas Doxey and Ann Elizabeth Hunt. This line goes directly back to  your number 7 William Doxey and Mary Smedley. Your tree gives me 5 more  generations back. Are these generations verified with parish records?  And could you please send me the film numbers that verify them. My doxey  line can be found at:

Add this to your page if you wish - I will be adding a link page to my  site soon.

In our Winslow Farr Sr. family org. we have a member whose last name is  Palmer and she ties into the watkins/doxey line.

Thanks,
Tim Farr

Hello Tim,

          Nice to hear from you. Yes indeed, my and your DOXEY line back to  1595 is verified by the Wirksworth parish registers. The film numbers and  the details of my 4 year Project to get the Wirksworth PRs deciphered,  transcribed and on the Internet can be found on my website. Check out  www.lds.co.uk/wirksworth section 28. Although the Wirksworth PRs do not  go further back than 1608, I have linked my line to a marriage in Longford  in 1594. There the PRs go back to around 1550. I have crawled through the  50 years of frightful writing, but have been unable to find a baptism for  either Roger DOXEY or Dorothy BROOKS. So the trail goes cold in 1594.
         Sure, I'll add a link to your website. My Palmer line comes from  Northamptonshire, it is a very common name and so not easy to tace back.
I've got back to about 1650, but an ambiguity will probably prevent further progress.
         Where do you hail from in the States? I've bicycled through 25 of them.

                 Best wishes,

                 John Palmer, Dorset, England.
