This data base was started about 1950 by Edmund Hayes Marriner. His son, Harry Andrew 
Marriner worked with him for many years adding to the data base until Ed died. Harry 
continued in his father's footsteps and offers this work in hopes of finding "lost" 
relatives throughout the world. Rochester and Chatham, England were homes to many of 
this Marriner tree after relocating from Thatcham, Berkshire, England in the mid 
1700s. Many of these Marriners migrated to the USA in the late 1800s leaving a few 
relatives in England. Harry's sister Carla Ann Marriner Bowlin, his distant cousins 
Howard Marriner, Philip Wells and Jan Anderson contributed much time, energy and 
money in researching details and contacting other researchers to fill in missing 
information. Thanks to them and also to the many people who donated their data bases 
and family trees.
