Welcome!

On this website you will find pages dedicated to numerous ancestors of mine, discovered in the wonderful world of genealogy. My research started some years ago and the results are below, the main names included in this site are Derrick - starting with George Derrick b. 1773 in Gloucester who married Mary Gregory. Dudley - starting with Francis Dudley b. 1580 in Wellingborough and who married Isabell. Linford - starting with John Thomas Linford b.1792 who married Sarah Hamley Weeks. Quince - starting with James b. 1817, Bedfordshire and married Sarah Darler and Wild - starting with Thomas Wild b.1798 Bloomsbury, London and married Sarah. Other surnames also appear, linked through marriage, there are 179 Surnames at this present moment in time, but this is growing almost weekly with over 800 entries on this site. I have included where possible BMD, LDS and Census records these are being constantly added to on an almost weekly basis and are kept on seperate pages, rather than within the genealogy report of each ancestor.

Once you have had a look around the site please come back and sign my guest book, regardless of whether you have found someone you are related to or not please say hi, you can leave messages for people you are searching for so if anyone else who visits is related to you they can contact you. If you are related to us then welcome to the family! Once again please sign the book so we know who you are, you can also place a pin on the map so others can see where in the world you are based.

Location: So far I have found family members in Canada, America, Australia, France and here in the UK. I am always on the look out for new family members so if you think you are related please email me and I will be happy to do some digging and see if we can find a link. I have access to several genealogy sites so if you are missing some information I would be happy to do some digging for you. I would also be grateful to anyone who can fill in the 'gaps' or add extra descendants to the tree, I don't mind how many cousins I unearth, whether they be first, second or even 10th! If you have additional information which we can add then please let me know. I can accept most types of file, whether it be microsoft word/excel, jpeg, gedcom or ftw.

Photos: you will find as you go through the different sections that there are several photos of family members on this site, if you by chance you have some pictures that you would like to contribute to the site then please let me know.

BMD: Where you see specific dates it is likely that the majority of the information has come from the Church of Latter Day Saints, I know from experience that these are sometimes incorrect so if you think you spot an error please let me know. In some cases I have the actual certificates, and a lot of the Derrick information has come from entries in a family bible.

Name of Interest: Please click on the links below to take you to the family that you are interested in. Each family has their own section, within each section you will find information such as census records, descendant charts and in some cases photos, an explanation of where the family name came from etc...
