The Towneley Family
The guide Tracing the Towneleys was compiled in 2000 in response to
their requests. Many descendants of the family have had a strong
interest in genealogy but few more so than Christopher Towneley
(1604-1674) and this update in 2004 celebrates his 400th birthday.
Among the new material are extracts from Christopher's evidences for
proving the pedigree of the Towneleys of Towneley, which he wrote in
1662.
This manuscript only returned on loan to Towneley in June 2003 after a period of more than 100 years away.
