This web site presents genealogical and biographical information on members of a family who can trace their ancestry back to one John Man who was born in Hurst, Berkshire, England, in 1718. The pages here contain historical information only and family members who are living have not been included.

It also contains information and links to other families who have married into this MAN family and vice versa.  To move among the various generations that make up this family, click on the Generations button above.  A GEDCOM file of the data included on this web site is available on request.

A photo gallery has recently been created and can be accessed HERE.  Visit the News section for the latest on what is happening in the Man (and related) families. To find an individual please go to the Name Index or the Site Map.  Unfortunately, for various technical reasons, no search function is available.

Some familiar English names can be found among these pages such as Balchen, Bowes, Baker, Cumberland, Desborough, Waddington and a few Scots as well (see Adam and Cran for example).  The Booker prize is now known as the Man Booker prize for obvious reasons.

As yet, only some of the individuals above have been identified: Standing from left to right are: Morrice King Man and his wife Jane Smart Walch and Morrice's brother Harry Edward Julius Man. Seated from left to right (maybe) are:  Henriette Marie Phillipine Man (wife of  Harry Edward Julius), next to Henriette is unknown but probably Emma Elizabeth Man who married Jane Smart Man's brother Charles Edward Walch. Last seated is size Septimus Man. The young children are Eliza Caroline and Emma Catherine, the daughters of Morrice King and Jane Smart. The years 1861 - 1864 were significant for this group: Henriette Marie died on Nov 15 1863. Emma Elizabeth died one day later on Nov 16 1863. Their deaths are not connected. Henriette Marie probably died as a result of complications giving birth to her daughter Harietta.; Emma Elizabeth died of tuberculosis. Both Morrice King and Harry Edward died in 1864.Morrice died in Tasmania while Harry died at Halstead Hall, Kent. Caroline Eliza, the daughter of Emma Elizabeth and Charles Edward Walch died in 1862. Squeezed between these years (1861 - 1864) were the births of Morrice and Harry's four daughters, all of whom survived to adulthood. The photograph must therefore have been taken some time before 1861, if Emma Elizabeth is the one seated in the middle.
