Tree #35: Robert Wanlass & other Wanlesses of Lumley & Ouston, Durham

300 people

This tree covers the family of Robert Wanless (d. 1763) of Lumley, Chester-le-Street, Durham. Most of this family stayed in that area, but one branch peeled off to Wiltshire for nearly 20 years before returning to Lumley around 1831. This database also contains several other small Wanless families who lived in Lumley and who are probably connected. There is almost certainly a connection to tree 8, but we don't know what yet.
