After about 3 years of collecting details of my family with many hours  spent  on a computer and suffering eye strain from looking at very feint microfilm in  Record Offices and Libraries, I feel that I have gathered enough information  to make it interesting and to share with other family members.

The journey has been interesting but it nevers ends as the tree is never up to  date.

I find it interesting how occupations in families are the same and christian  names follow throughout the families through generations.

For reasons of security I would ask that you ask me first before giving  someone the password to this site. It only takes a minute to send an email. I  will respond as quickly as possible.

Please let me know of errors that I have made or other details I can add to  our Family History.
  Scan me photos of family members to add to the site as I don't have a lot of  photos, or send me interesting information to make relatives come to life.- elaine.redford@gmail.com

I hope you and the rest of your family enjoy my first attempt at putting the  family history together as one collection.

With grateful thanks to those I have shared and exchanged information to  extend this tree This site traces not only my direct ancestors but also, where  possible, their sibling's and spouses families too!

Many of the birth years are taken from census returns or BMD certificates. Look through the photograph albums, especially the unknowns, if you recognise  a face, please let me know!!!
 Many names in this tree are attached to a picture of a silhouette rather than  a photograph,this is because no photograph has yet been found for those  particular people.if you do have in your possession a photograph of somebody  named in this tree and you are willing to share it, please contact me or san  the photograph to me under the above email address.

Feel free to leave comments,corrections and relatives in the guestbook. I hope  you enjoy my efforts.
