The Tree
Introduction
Welcome to 'The Tree'.
This work is based upon extensive Oliver family research carried out by the late Muriel Leo (nee Oliver) in the 1970's and 80s.
John and Grace Oliver in Devon England had nine children between 1800 and 1822. Sadly, the first born died within a year, the other children living into adulthood. Sons, James and Samuel emigrated to New Zealand in 1841 and they, and their descendants, were the focus for Muriel Leo.
Muriel's nephew, Brian Oliver, is today the caretaker of her work. In 2005, he decided it should be made available to the wider family so, published it online here.
Due to the generous sharing of research and information received from wider family, the tree has grown enormously, to include over 12,600 persons. And, discoveries made that two of John and Grace Oliver's other children, William and Mary emigrated to Ohio in the United States during the 1840s. The other four children: John, Thomas, Ann, and Francis, all remained in England - in Devon and Cornwall.
And today, The Tree also encompasses the ancestry of both Brian and his wife Carol (nee Jones). On Brian's side family names include Oliver, Carrel, Woolford, Higgie, McCaul, Clark, Cox, and Dodson. On Carol's side family names include Churton, Jones, Sammals, Trainer, McGregor, Ross, Garrard, and Beck.
To use and view The Tree:
Further family information is published on a separate website, "nzolivers.com". Here, there are descendant charts, documents, and several photo albums contributed by family.
We hope you find The Tree of interest and of value to your research. We welcome any additions and information you care to share. Please feel free to get in touch with us through the contact information below.
Enjoy, and best wishes from Brian and Carol Oliver.
