FORRYAN One Name Study

Welcome to my web site!
I started to research the FORRYAN name back in 1982 and have continued off and on ever since. My first area of research was into the local family and I managed to talk with a lot of FORRYAN's in Leicester, Burbage and Nuneaton. From these discussions I started to piece together the family into one gigantic jigsaw puzzle.

Between 1987 and 1990 I was in London a lot with my work so was able to frequently visit St Catherine's House where the Birth, Death and Marriage index's were held. Over this period I went through every volume of all index's and copied every record relating to the FORRYAN name. From this information and the information collected I was able to link many of the names and build a comprehensive database. This now contains some 1700 names either FORRYAN's or linked families.

In the early 1990's the research turned into a one name study of the FORRYAN name and I have been busy collecting data ever since. This includes:-
" Newspaper articles
" Wedding Photo's
" Individual Photo's
" Family comments and stories
" Location data such as where families lived and where they moved to.
" Wills and probate information

Have a look at the origin of the FORRYAN name

I am happy to share information with other family researchers and would appreciate any support from researchers to enhance the database.
