My father is Ernie (Ernest) Easter, and has been tracing the genealogy of our family, and related families, for about forty years. I have recently taken over the research, mainly of my husband's family tree, and expanding the family history of both trees.
The earliest record we have found of our branch of the Easter family is in Stow-cum-Quy, Cambridgeshire in 1675. They moved to Aldeburgh, Suffolk, in about 1708. The family moved to east London in the 1850s.
