Earliest Archers tree incl Thomas (vicar of Whitchurch)

Phil’s History:

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.

Here is the earliest 'John Archer' presently known to me, who died in 1836, and one of whose sons was John Archer (senior) the brewer (probably the one mentioned as a brewer in The Victoria History of Oxfordshire) and another of whose sons was Thomas Archer, the vicar of Whitchurch, Bucks, who was a graduate of (I need to check) Pembroke College, Cambridge. (31.5.18).

John Archer (1803-1881) is my great-great grandfather. Anne Archer Archer is 'Bedspread Anne', who made the famous appliqué artwork - see elswhere in this site. She lived with her brother Thomas (1817-1902) in Adelaide Street, Oxford,
