Something will go here one day soon...Gaiety, merriment and dancing, etc.

Regular visitors here will have noticed the refurbishment is taking longer than expected.  This is mainly due to me getting very hooked on tracing my family history, which seems to have more skeletons than a medieval plague pit, and as many black sheep as a farm with several black sheep. 

Read about it here.

In conjunction with other Loughborough Family descendants, we have compiled an extensive record of the Loughborough Family based on the various County Durham families.  We have recorded as many records as we can find, going back to about 1800, but we need help in tying these together before 1800.  We would be very grateful to hear from anyone who has knowledge of the Loughborough Family (also Loufborough and variants) before 1800.  Currently we have 3-4 collections of Loughboroughs, but need help in uniting them.  Specifically, we are interested in ancestors of:

John and Isabella Loughborough, William Wilkinson Loughborough, Matthew Loufborough, Ralph (The Bookbinder) Loughborough and Ralph (The Mason) Loughborough,

We are also interested in anyone with knowledge of Hull area and London Loughborough Family members, present and past.

Please contact me here.

I started this web site in about 1998.  As of Autumn 2016 it is getting its biggest ever refurbishment. 

My goals are to include more current information, more pictures, no dead links, consistent format and typeface, better readability on more screens, and to get rid of characters that display badly.  But no free beer.

It is a bit untidy and experimental ...but just wait...

Text first, then pictures to be replaced.

Then the missing links.
