I have spent many years researching my family tree. It contains information on both the Sandercock (paternal) and Rashleigh (maternal) sides. My research is stored using Leisterpro Reunion (which I have used for many years), and publish to the web using Humo-Gen (a free genealogy web site template). It enforces privacy on both data and images, controlled by a login. If you require access to the data beyond that which is publically available, please contact me using the link on the genealogy web pages.
I have over 2,900 individuals (the earlest being born in the late 1600's), and 900 families.
Much information is subject to review and further investigation. There have been a number of people that have distanced themselves from their immediate families, and have been difficult to trace (even as recent as the twentieth century). In some of these cases, the information is 'best approximation' based on what has been found, and estimations based on that. A lot of information is from hand-written documents, many of which are difficult to read the writing on, resulting on either no information, or errors in the transcription.
To date I have traced the Sandercock family back to before 1700, and the Rashleigh line to the early 1800's. Both families trace back to Cornwall in the United Kingdom. Other family lines trace to many places throughout Europe, with the majority to various places in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
It is unlikely I will be able to go back any further, as few, if any, records exist for the family prior to these dates. Many of the records for the dates I have researched back to are inconsistent (possibly from transcription errors, but also for other reasons), and canot be verified as to which records are correct and accurate.
My research shows there were most likely only 4 Sandercock families that emigrated to Australia. 2 to South Australia (1 of which I am descended from), another to Victoria, and a fourth to Queensland. There may also be other families with an alternate spelling - Saundercock - as there is a person with that surname listed on the War Memorial in Parramatta, New South Wales.
