Features In memoriam I'm sad to report that Clifford Frederick Minter died on 11th September aged 88. Cliff was enormously influential in the creation of this website, having already devoted some 50 years to research into the Minter name. Cliff's original family trees for branches of the Kent Minters were hand-drawn on sheets of paper about a metre in depth and several metres in length. All those who knew Cliff will be sorry to hear of his passing. John Minter, December 2019. Minter stories - click on the links below to read personalised family histories: The Minters of Boxted, Essex by Darren Bedingfield The Minters of Great Horkesley, Essex by John Minter The Minters of Eyke, Suffolk by Graham Minter The Hedley - Peck - Minter migration to Australia by Helen Connell Eliza Minter of Palgrave, Suffolk and her children by Richard Moore The Minters of Elk Lake, Vancouver Island, Canada - a video of a talk given in 2017 by Joan (Minter) Smirl to members of the Royal Oak School Yard The Hunsleys - are related to the Minters via the 2011 marriage of John Hunsley and Erica Minter. John is a member of the 'Lincolnshire Hunsleys' (which actually originated in Yorkshire) but rather than expand the Great Horkesley tree, the Hunsleys can be found on this site in their own tree. I'm indebted to Stephen 'Doc' Hunsley for his help in putting the Hunsley tree together. The Worleys - are related to the Minters via the 2019 marriage of Phil Worley and Helen Minter. Phil's family originated in Buckinghamshire and has been traced back to the 16th century. Scrapbooks - Click for an index to the Minter picture collections.
