The Bossingham Web Site

Welcome to the Bossingham web site. This site is for anyone with the surname Bossingham or who is descended from a Bossingham. It is not a common name so we are pretty exclusive bunch - and we think quite special too!

I have been building a family tree below are the results. Each change of colour is a different generation. If a name in the left hand column is a link then it will lead to more details about that person. If a date is a link then it leads to a photograph of the relevant document.

There are currently 4 charts. The Earlier Bossinghams (below) starting from Oliver Bossingham b. 1688, the Descendants of Thomas Bossingham b 1840, the Descendants of John Oliver b 1832 and also of William Bossingham of Upwell

Thanks to Bill Harrison, Winifred Starling (my Aunt) and Lesley Jones (my 2nd cousin) for compiling and supplying information.

If you think you might like to be listed on this site then do contact me, Mike Bossingham, on my email address, Mike@Bossingham.com. You will need to send us a photograph and some information about yourself and if you wish your email address so that you can be contacted. There is no charge for this, after all you are a Bossingham.

I have now added a whole lot of photos of people from my father's collection. You can see more information and photos of people by clicking on their names in the 1st or 3rd columns. There are a few photos where he was not sure who the people are, so it would be ever so helpful if you took a look and see if you recognise anyone in the photos.

We can, if you wish, set you up a Bossingham.com email address and arrange to have the emails forwarded to your existing address. Do contact us if you are a Bossingham even if you don't want to be put on the web site. We would love to hear from you.
