Welcome to my website about Caffyn and Caffin family history. I am a keen family historian - some even say obsessed with Caffyn and Caffins! - having begun my research when I was 12 years old. I would like to hear from any one else with an interest in the Caffyn/Caffin family and from members of the Caffyn/Caffin family.
My apologies to everyone who has tried contacting me recently; my computer died on me earlier this year and I have had endless problems rescuing my emails and reinstalling software. I have only recently replaced the software which I use for managing my information on Caffyn’s but as its a new version it is going to take me some time to update my macro’s.
I am also busy now that the 1911 census has moved from pay-as-go to subscription as I have been waiting very patiently to find the Caffyn records (having worked out what it would cost to find all the Caffyns on a pay-as-you-go basis was a little scary!). Below is an extract from the 1911 census for Cecil Caffyn, aged 5 years - he is my grandfather and he
is living with his brother Maurice and my great grandparents (Walter) Thomas and Mary Caffyn in Ash Road in Aldershot. Thomas is working as a pastrycook; he later had his own bakery shop in Brighton. Their third son was born several years after the census was taken. Both Thomas and Cecil died in 1954.
