Spread across Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, Plymouth and one from Kent

I’m a west country lass. The Shermans, Rowes and Bears almost entirely came from and lived in Cornwall. The Perrys came from Somerset, with both my great grandfather and great great grandfather marrying Dorset girls. In the early 20th century they converged on Plymouth, where my adolescent father fell in love with my teenage mother across the pews of Pennycross church.

I know a lot about them all, as well as the families they married into: Glassons, Nicholls, Halses, Davises and others. Gradually it will all appear here. But don’t hold your breath – I’m still working out how to use WordPress.
