Welcome to the Close Ancestry Trees

Hello, and welcome to the Close Ancestry trees.

There's a lot of stuff around but hopefully most of it is self-explanatory. Just click around to see what's there.

Generally speaking if you hover your mouse over something and it turns a different colour, there's a link to something else.

We have a Clippings Cart which lets you download information in the Gedcom format, and then import into your family tree software. You can find the option for adding into the cart on the Other option of the menus that appear for individuals.

See our Help / FAQ List for ‎(some of the)‎ answers surrounding the site.


Last Update 05 March 2010

After completing the sweep on the Grinton registers, it left a number of people hanging around in the 19th century with only a partial picture. So, this update flushes all those out by adding 180 new BMD and Census images, and 111 new people.

In particular, the family and descendants of:

Anthony Close ‎(1849)‎
George Close ‎(1813)‎
Isabella Close ‎(1778)‎
Isabella Close ‎(1814)‎
James Close ‎(1793)‎
Joseph Close ‎(1821)‎
Mary Close ‎(1780)‎
Richard Close ‎(1795)‎
Robert Close ‎(1852)‎
Rose Close ‎(1782)‎
Ruth Close ‎(1786)‎
William Close ‎(1762)‎

It's also produced a whole new dynasty based in the Halifax, Yorkshire area.
