The Gunpowder Plot Society website includes a comprehensive family tree database which shows how the principal plotters were related to each other and to other people who feature in the story of the Gunpowder Plot. After clicking on an individual's name to view the family data for that individual, you can then click on the name of any member of their family to see a similar set of data for that person.

Below is a list of the names of the thirteen "principal" plotters. Click on a person's name to go directly to the database entry for that person. Alternatively, you can browse through indexes to find an entry for the person you are looking for. The indexes are arranged in two ways: one is by SURNAMES, and the other is by INDIVIDUAL names. You can find the links to these two indexes below the list of plotters' names.

This database is continually being updated, and new names are always welcome. If you have any information that you think could be included in the database, please feel free to e-mail us.
