Welcome to our website. This information has been compiled over the years by several  members of the various families and I am deeply grateful to them all for supplying the  information which is making this family history as complete as it is.

Researching a family is a task that can never be seen to be complete and so this  website must be considered work in progress. Thus please keep coming back to see what  has been added.

If anyone visiting this site finds any errors or omissions, can you please let me know  so that the record can be put straight.

I am going to start adding some speculative information about the Dawson family.  This  information is taken from an Ancestry family tree of a person whom I trust but I  haven't yet been able to get to Stafford Record Office and check this for myself. But  other information from another source suggests that it is right.

Could you also please sign the GUEST BOOK so that we know who has visited and what  they think of the work that has been done to date.

The Jaggards of this family appear to start in Warwickshire England.  Some of the  family then migrated to other areas of England, primarily Staffordshire.  There was  also a migration to New Zealand and Australia.

We are desparate to find ancestors of George Arthur Jaggard who possibly emigrated to  Australia in the late 19th century as he is mentioned in the will Maria Russell of  Leamington (CR611/252/1-3) as being of Cunnamulia Queensland Australia.

Thanks must go to the following people for their contributions to the compiling of this  information

Leslie Gorrie via Colleen Jaggard (Vertongen) who gave me the first insight into the  New Zealand branch of the family.
 Betty Fox - a friend and archivist who keeps her eyes open for the name Jaggard when  she is indexing papers at Walsall Library.
 Tom & Winnie Foster (Deakin) who first alerted me to previous wives of Henry Wells Hilary Morris - in collaboration with Winnie and myself looking for Dawsson and Wells  information 
 Brent Jaggard - many pictures about his family
 Helen Jaggard (Magee) - info about Ians branch of the family Ian Forrester - along with Winnie and Hilary has been a sounding board for Dawson and  Wells information
 Lynda Ottaway (Woodbridge) - information on the Haslams and John's branch of the family Shirley McConnachie (Jaggard) - pictures and updates on her branch of the family.
