Henry of Kinnersley

… and his descendants

Reviewed and updated 10 Jan 2015

Henry Atcherley was born out of wedlock, so although he was descended from a long line of farmers he grew up to become an agricultural labourer. Henry’s descendants gradually moved away from Shropshire, mainly into Staffordshire to begin with, and also Birmingham (then in Warwickshire). In addition one of his grandsons, Samuel Atcherley, established a branch of this family in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Unless otherwise stated, all places named below are in Shropshire, England and those places outside Shropshire are in England or Wales.
