We discovered that our family tree does indeed begin with Joshua - but unfortunately, his christening has remained elusive and we suspect he must have come over the Pennines from Yorkshire.
His descendants have spread mainly across North Derbyshire into Lancashire and Cheshire.
There appear to be no other Rangeleys on the western side of the Pennines before him.
As is usual during the course of research, a lot of names and branches have been added to our family tree. We want to include as much of this information as possible in our website in the hope that it will prove useful to anyone researching their own family history.
