A ‘work in progress’ family history website starting from an Archer family of South Oxford, who were freemen, brewers, haulage contractors, and first ‘Archer & Co’ then ‘Archer Cowley & Co’ furniture removers in the 19th and 20th Centuries, inter alia, to whom are linked by marriage the Penfolds and Wells of Southwark and Surrey, the Reeds of Devon, the Gilders of Oxford and Hinckley, the Morgans of Petworth, Sussex, the Garners of Middleton, Lancs and many others. There are connections via Phil and the present generation (born 1930s/40s) with a patent law firm known as "UD&L" with motor-racing and Scottish antecedents.
This tree is compiled from online information plus facts known, of course, to me from attending the wedding of my niece Sophie (my elder brother Michael Archer’s daughter, from his second marriage, to Susan Zimmerman) at Shoreditch Town Hall on 3rd May 2014 and afterwards at the reception at Bethnal Green.
