The grandson of the author is doing research as more information is now availble https://one-name.org/name_profile/antrobus/

"Over the past 10 years using data now available on line I have been able to confirm most of the details in the 1929 Pedigree, fill in many of the gaps and largely bring it up to date. My Grandfather believed that every Antrobus living in 1929 was descended from a Ralph Antrobus who was living in Over Peover, Cheshire in the latter part of the 15th Century."

"The 1929 Pedigree was recorded as one very large descending pedigree chart that covered 16 generations. For ease of access I have divided this into a number of distinct Branches which link vertically (and horizontally if they are large). All the individuals have also been summarised in a common Database (Excel spreadsheet) which currently stands at 5400."

The stage has now been reached where a significant proportion of the available data has been allocated to individual pedigree trees. Nearly 98% of Census entries (1841 – 1911) and GRO Births from 1837 have been allocated. The rate for Parish Records (and Bishops Transcripts) is less good, particularly for female marriages where there is no corresponding Birth entry. I suspect that many of the female marriage entries may be widows so a corresponding birth entry does not exist or may be very difficult to find.

About ¾ of all individuals have been linked back to a common origin. With many of the rest the link back is suggested but not confirmed and needs further elucidation.

More work is also needed on branches of the family in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa where significant numbers of individuals now reside.

The other main development now needed is a Website, to make the data available to those interested and to promote discussion and feedback around problem areas in the Pedigree. Work is now in hand (Sept 2020) developing such a website - a TNG site as part of the Members Website Project.
