The Preen Family History Study Group exists to research the history of the Preen Family. They also publish books such as this one and meet every year in a place where some part of the Preen family lived in earlier centuries. For many years, this meeting place was the village of Cardington (near Church Stretton in Shropshire) which was the home of many members of the family. A recent DNA study has shown that the Preen family is divided into three main groups. The one we call the "Kings Stanley Group" has as its common ancestors John Preen and his wife Ursula who lived in Kings Stanley in the second half of the seventeenth century. Their descendants remianed in the area and many of them worked in the wollen mills.
