My husband is directly descended from George Samways born 1856 to Henry and Jane (Hansford) Samways of Wynford Eagle. George was married to Hannah ?(b. 1860 Walmington?).Does anyone know what happened to the other children of Henry and Jane - William, Emily Hodge, Samuel, Lydia, Harry, Eliza and Frederick (born Wynford Eagle between 1842 and 1860)?

Hi,

Try the link below, if you paste it into your address bar it should bring up a website called: Marjorie and Doug Williams' Family History Home. You should be able to find loads of Samways there and if you are lucky - the one you need.

Good Luck.

Oh yes, they are Dorset: Cattistock, Wynford Eagle, Wraxall etc.

My lot are descended from Thomas Samways and Elizabeth Coombs.
