Welcome to my chick family history

This is the history of my family, Here you will find my family line around Somerset, Devon and beyond, Although I'm living in the south west of England I was born in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire on the 5^th April 1963 at home which at that time was 413 micklefield road, We moved to Norfolk in about 1973 and down to the southwest in about 1989.

My father spent time in Plymouth during WW2, He was sent to Plymouth from High Wycombe Bucks, He stayed with his aunt in ALMA RD, As you will see as you progress through my family history, My fathers family lived in Plymouth,   
It wasn?t until after Dads death on the 23^rd June 1994 that I decided to research my family tree, I asked relatives for as much info as they could remember and discovered my roots were here in the southwest,
I went on many websites looking for information, I found so many sites with snippets of census records that I decided to purchase the 1881 British census records, Although this did help me a great deal I was limited to how far I could go, I started leaving messages on internet message boards and managed to get some information from these Plus my brother sent off for some information from the PRO so this is what we've come up with.
