Surname Interests - Please Help! Blay / Sherfield / Caswell / Welch

[AshleyBlay]

Hi All,

I am new to Roots Chat and am researching my family, I have hit a few dead ends and have come here to hopefully get some help from others researching the same families and maybe even find some relatives 

I am searching more on my maternal side as my father left when I was 2 years old so I have little to no information on his side, however is anyone has information on the Clough / Matthews / Docwra, from Essex , Ireland and Fuham/Chelsea respectively then I would be grateful to learn more.

Predominantly I am researching my mothers side, my surname interest are as follows:

Blay Family - I believe origins are Berkshire

Sherfield Family - Origins of Bentley, Hampshire, however I know my uncle migrated to Canada so there may be family over there too

Caswell Family - Berkshire / Wiltshire - however I may have crossed my wires on this side

Welch Family - Chertsey / Lynne / Thorpe

However I am also researching my ancestors on the Wells (Surrey), Allen (Surrey), Riddick (Surrey), Axten (Buckinghamshire), Rosam (Surrey) and Gosden (Surrey) families.

Most of my family on the Blay and Caswell side that remain are still living in the Chertsey/Addlestone area.

I would love to get in touch with more family and share our research if you feel you are connected to my line.

Thanks so much for reading and I look forward to seeing if anyone has any further information!

Ashley

Hi

Check if anybody else is researching those names by scrolling to the bottom of this page & clicking on Surname Interests which you will find under TOOLS

Following on from Carole's suggestion, add your families to Surname Interests.

Thank you both for your help, I was wondering if there was a way to do this!

Can I also add surnames to my post signature the same way? I see a lot of people have their interests at the bottom of each post but I haven't been able to work that out yet.
