WOLLATON HISTORICAL & CONSERVATION SOCIETY

RESEARCH PROJECTS - WOLLATON FAMILIES

Updated August 2023

A group of members of Wollaton Historical & Conservation Society has undertaken a study of old Wollaton families, and this interest continues. On-line research, study of journals and archives often uncovers a mystery.

Did you grow up in Wollaton or surrounding areas, or other parts of the Middleton Estate such as Trowell and Cossall, for example? What can you recall? Names, locations, dates and anecdotes are always of interest and will help our team piece together a snapshot of life in this area over the years. 

Ron Cruxon's book has inspired many to think back to their own childhood. If you would like to share your memories, please contact the research group via the Feedback link on the drop down menu on the left hand side of this page. 

Here is a list of the family surnames we have discovered go back in time in Wollaton and so are of value to the area of research. Can you help? Contact us via the FEEDBACK link in the left hand page column:
