Isle of Axholme, Lincolnshire

Article

Descendants of my great grand aunt Sarah ALLEN 1862-1943 are linked to the north Lincolnshire villages of Owston Ferry and West Butterwick. This area, the most north-westerly part of Lincolnshire, is more commonly known as the Isle of Axholme, due to it's location between the rivers Trent, Nidd and Old Don.

For a more comprehensive overview of this area and some useful family history resources, follow this link to the Isle of Axholme Family History Society.
