1200 AD down to the present day with some 700 living members around the globe.  All present-day Eversheds in the world are thought to be included on this family tree.

generations our ancestors lived in Ockley until around 1500 and later in nearby villages in Surrey and the adjacent county of Sussex.  In the mid-1600s a Coat of Arms was granted to John Evershed of Ockley.  All today's Eversheds are descended from six 'forefathers' who all lived in Sussex during much of the 1700s.

Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, United States, and elsewhere.  The family history has been actively researched by many Eversheds the earliest was the Rev Samuel in the mid 1800's.  Sydney Evershed in the 1930s drew up a family tree with the help of the College of Arms and in 1932 the original Coat of Arms was regranted to him.  Since the 1940s John Dendy Evershed has dedicated himself to contacting Eversheds, collecting family information and memorabilia and drawing, piece-by-piece, the complete family tree which now contains some 2000 members spread over some 25 sheets. Without his lifelong work the Evershed family would never have been brought together as they have.  Dendy has recently transferred all his collection of Evershed records to Terence Roy Evershed.

From the late 1970s Peter Bernard Evershed has dedicated himself to the close  scrutiny of the thousands of detailed records and he has greatly contributed in establishing the completeness and accuracy of the family tree.  He has written a three-volume History of the Evershed Family which is a very informative complement to Dendy's Family Tree.  For many years he has issued an annual 'Evershed Newsletter' which helps to keep Eversheds world-wide up-to-date with the latest Evershed news.
