Pages and Leaflets of North Oxfordshire

My Lineage Pre-1700 - 1959

De: Angela Fortnum

Narrado por: Kate Marcin

Every family has a story. And for Angela Fortnum, her maternal family story would begin eight generations before her and reach back to the turn of the 18th century in England - and it is a story that she will tell and continue today.

In Pages and Leaflets of North Oxfordshire, author Angela Fortnum shares a well-researched family history of her maternal grandfathers, offering a compelling window into the life and times of her ancestors. This history chronicles the Page family’s shift from agricultural and labourer life to self-employment and small holding, and it also lists the changes in the family’s religious beliefs over time. Angela includes as well a discussion of the richness and diversity of the church and chapel buildings that were linked in some way to her family, each of which tells a story of their own.

In the end, the story of the Page family lives on today, as Pages and Leaflets of North Oxfordshire stands as a legacy to Angela and her mother’s family and the great changes they experienced over the centuries.
