My ISONs are a north Warwickshire family
originating at Mancetter around 1600. later coming to Bedworth
via generations at Over Whitacre, Ansley and Ansty.
Records of other members of the family appear at Fenny Drayton, Leics and
Sutton Coldfield. There were also Isons at nearby Maxstoke, Fillongley and
Nuneaton though no connections have yet been found. Possibly with your help
this can be done one day.( Spelling variations found were: Izon; Izen; Izin;
Isen; Isons.)

On the larger scale (unfortunately modern) map the
villages where the ISONs lived for generations can be seen. The City of
Coventry is the grey area just below Bedworth, whilst Birmingham is a few miles
off the left side of the map.
More distant ISON
relations: My web pages have been increased to show several Charts of more
distantly related ISON families up to the end of the 19th Century. As well as
the places referred to above, related ISON families in Coventry,
Walsgrave-on-Sowe, Stoke (Coventry district) Birmingham, Maidstone, Chester and
Widnes are now represented. It is hoped these are easy to follow.
There
are now about 400 ISON names in the table below, all of which descend from
Henry 1743 and before him from Thomas 1614, in Mancetter, north
Warwickshire.
I am always pleased to hear from other researchers of the
ISON (IZON) name in the North Warwickshire area.
P.S. Some of this information is from Censuses etc and is
not confirmed. However it is provided so it can act as a basis for further
investigation by relatives.
