Jane Head & Family has been updated with more information on her husband, Charles Franklin Head
New Stories:
- Jane Bulkeley Johnson (nee Head) and various members of the family, involved in government, the military and trade.
- The Dawes Family
- Samuel Creagh Head
- John Harper Narbeth - designed the 1906 HMS Dreadnought and HMS Flat Iron - a seaplane recovery vessel
There are more connections between the Dawes and the Heads than we have yet managed to fathom. Particularly any relationship between Elizabeth Head (married to Daniel Butler Dawes, Senior) Charles Franklin Head and Samuel Creagh Head.
If you have further information on any of our studies, or any questions etc., please Contact Us.
