I seem to recall that Cambridge University hold a lot of Winston's family papers. 
RIP 1949-10th January 2013

Do you mean the family tree on Ancestry?

No not on Ancestry, I saw it at Bletchly Park and copied it out, further to my first post I have been informed that the family name included "Jennings" as an example my wifes grandfather was John Jennings Boatwright. Hope this extra bit of info is of use.

Winston Churchill's Family Tree on Ancestry is from a Robert Spencer born in 1570. There are no people named Boatwright shown in it. About what date is this link ?
