Welcome

This site not only contains information about our family history but also some information about Stanley, Co. Durham, the place where lots of my ancestors moved to from all parts of the country.

I hope you find it interesting and maybe even a part of your history.

This is the Herdman family taken about 1904. Charles Herdman, in the centre, was a miner as were all the sons so this was a picture for a special occasion, possibly the 21st birthday of Charles seated on the right hand of his father.

The information on this site has come from a lot of places and a lot of people to whom I am eternally grateful. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this information, invariably there will be errors and omissions.

The information displayed on these pages may change as the research continues and this site is updated. If you have any information that may add to what I have, please e-mail me by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page to which you wish to refer. It is via such contacts we are able to collectively expand our knowledge of our family.
