Book Synopsis
The first half of the book offers a history of my English ancestors from John Lennard, "the founder of the family," in the 16th century to Thomas Barrett Lennard, Lord Dacre, in the 18th century. John Lennard lived through the reigns of the Tudor monarchs during the English Renaissance. His descendants experienced the English Civil Wars, the Restoration, the Irish uprisings, the Glorious Revolution, and the Georgian era. The second half of the book follows my family history from the life of Thomas Barrett Lennard, 1st Baronet of Belhus, to the arrival in Vancouver, British Columbia, of my grandparents and the birth of my father. The book ends with chapters on my father and his siblings.
