I am Barry Laughton living nr. Chesterfield in Derbyshire in the UK.
This website is an attempt to tell a factional story. Many people are my ancestors who will have lived in the locations mentioned in the story. However, as the story unfolds from the 1830's there actual characters and physical descriptions are unknown. Where possible the locations will be described as they were for the period. The events of the times will be reported as accurately as possible, i.e. transportation, weather, politics impinging on my relatives. Dates of their births, marriages, deaths will be reported as they happened. The proposed chronicle dates are from around 1830 to the census of 1901. Each family story will have a separate page. The main family names and their locations with links are below. I would be grateful if any reader would point out any errors of fact in the stories of the families or the locations mentioned. My e-mail address is below. |
