Building My Sayers Tree
Welcome to my “Sayers” family tree web site, please feel free to roam, enjoy and get involved if you wish.
Motivation
I have been doing research on family histories for more than twenty years, first getting involved by effectively taking over my Father’s research once data became available on the internet.
My Father began the research after we both had read of the life and times of Tom Sayers the British world champion prizefighter (B. May 25 1826 - d. November 8 1865) and wondered (hoped) we were related in some way. Well after a combined effort of nearly forty years no connection has been found, but lots of wonderful stories and tales about our Sayers family have been learnt.
We have also learnt of many other family’s linked to the Sayers, such as Tindale, Stanford, Longstaff(e), Saunders, Brewer, Appleton, Hymas.
I have used Ancestry UK, Find my Past, but other sites have led to distant cousins and branches, namely Genes-Reunited, Lost Cousins, and recently DNA match sites.
I am still working full time so unfortunately I have bursts of research activity with long spells of nothing at all, so I hope to add a blog to this site to encourage me to remain more active, time will tell.
