Search for Twinns

Genealogists in Cambridge, the origin of the Twinn family, have traced the family name through church and parish records back to 1273 and have a definitive line of descent from Robert Twynne in 1480 to the present day.

Researcher Graham Twinn has produced a book detailing the history of the family with information of births, marriages and deaths and also many details of the employment and careers, successes and failures of the Twinn family through the generations.

It charts the migration from Cambridgeshire, which is still a stronghold of the family name, to all points in the UK and overseas.

At a recent two-day gathering in Cambridge over 100 members of the Twinn “family”, including several from Canada, the USA and Australia who came especially for the event, met to exchange information to fill gaps in the family tree.

Graham would like add a chapter on the “Sussex Twinns” in the next printing of his book.

Anyone who is able to provide information about the family name is requested to contact me, Mike Twinn, telephone 01444 235250.
