This is a record of my paternal family tree, which I have been compiling since the
early 1980's. At the turn of the 20th century 'my' Kisby's and Barlow's arrived in
Leeds, Yorkshire, thanks to the spread of the railways. The
Halls seem to have originated in rural East Yorkshire.

Most of the names in this tree will be of the Fenland Kisby's of Eastern England.
Kisby's have lived in the area of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire for many centuries
and the name originated in Lincolnshire in the 1200's. The furthest point I have
reached in my findings are my
great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents Francis Blunt and
Mary Ferrow, who arrived in the Whittlesey area in the seventeenth century.
