Longham, Dorset, England, Post Office and Chapel, C1910 and in a February 2012 photograph per courtesy of Frances Vine. Our Vine family ancestors lived near Longham from at least 1760. East Parley nearby features in many of the records obtained in the course of my research. Bournemouth International Airport and Sports Grounds are now located in this area.

Vine Family of New Zealand, originating Dorset, England
The initial intention in creating a Family Tree
was to find more about my Grandfather, Sydney John VINE pictured above C1918 with his family of the time - Wife Winifrede Annie nee EDWARDS and children William John and Thomas Alfred Noel. He died when my Father, William John VINE was 8 years of age resulting in very little oral or written family
history being available. I seek to remedy that.
Within these pages, details of 1,750 or so individual people are recorded, including 430 unique surnames making up 583 families! To list them all
on the homepage would be totally impracticable. To see them all, or to select one to view, click here. Alternatively,
if you know the name of the person you are looking for, enter it in the search bar at the top of the page or use the
advanced search facility.
Some of our family's immediate lines at this stage of research commence with:
VINE, John, Died 17 Apr 1771, West Parley, Dorset, England
