WAPSHARE FAMILY FROM DUNWOOD MANOR, ROMSEY
Two separate Wapshare families lived in Salisbury, Wiltshire in the late eighteenth century. Both were originally Wapshotts. One family came from Dunwood Manor near Wellow, Romsey, Hampshire. This family was well educated and only stayed for a generation or so in Salisbury, one of them, William Henry went to India to make his fortune like Clive and Hastings before him.
Details of the study of this family can be found within the pages of this site. see Site Map for quick reference to individuals.
So far most of this site is devoted to this family as I want to publish the information that I have personally collected in England and India over the past ten years while it is fresh in my mind. The Wapshare name here almost ceased to be passed on but luckily some of those family members returned from India to Britain.
This Salisbury family begins with William who was born about 1715 - ‘of Eastrop’
Only a few of this family have survived with the Wapshare name, the rest of us from the next.
