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.
Left to right: PBA, DGG, PMH, and RM, at an early 1990s UDL celebration (to be identified in due course). Otherwise: Phil, David G, Pat, and Roy, respectively of Peterborough and Leeds and Leeds and Milton Keynes UDL offices. Looks like a small family firm do? Yes, I’d say so. (31.10.14).
