WELCOME
 

Welcome to my NEW website. Thanks to everyone who has contributed information, photos, and stories about our family.
I would especially like to thank the following people.

  • Denise Quinn
  • Norman Hellyer
  • Richard Binstead
  • Chris Shearer

I love Genealogy and thanks to the internet it has become so much easier to research our family tree and to make contact with our long lost cousins. Over the years I've collected quite a lot of documentation including hundreds of certificates and copies of census returns. Eventually I hope to have them all available on this website. Most of the old photo's are already here, over 250 so far. If you have any photo's you would like me to add, or if you would like a copy of any of these please don't hesitate to contact me. Also, please contact me if you want to ADD someone or if you find any ERRORs.
