I hope you enjoy my site, as you can see with over 17,000 names on it its is quite extensive. Where  possible I have tried to search on census and give as many details as possible. I have spent many  hours especially over the winter months in doing this tree.  If there are any details that  are wrong or if you have additional information please let me know. There is also available  through this site a dvd which you can purchase which copies the whole site, it is $37 including  postage.(this is a U.S.site)

I do have stories and further photos to put on when I have the time available.  The Ashworth originated from Rossendale,  a history of that area is in the Stories section. There  is information 
 also on the Chadwicks of Rochdale including the infamous Sir Andrew Chadwick whose fortune is  supposedly in Chancery . We have grown up with the story that he saved Queen Ann from a bolting  horse and was knighted.As it happens Queen Anne suffered ill health and terrible gout and would not have been able to ride a horse, but she could have been in a carriage. This tale is nothing more than a fable but many generations believed it. He did however join a land lottery with Queen Anne. Many of our family in past years have tried to put claims in on the  fortune but alas have failed. I have spent hours finding the connection, I have no documentary  evidence to prove it. I will add more information about him in the Stories Section, as I have done  on other famous relatives.

I have recently researched from the Chadwicks into the 5th Century, it will take many hours to get  all the names on here as there are thousands. I have Kings and Queens, Counts,Barons Lords,  Knights, Bishops and even a few Saints not to mention Empress and Princess 's of the Holy Roman  Empire.  We are also connected to Elizabeth 1st. I am researching Saxons and even the Vikings. As  you can imagine there are hundreds of Coats of Arms which will be in a seperate album, at the  present time I have only managed to download a few.

I have been determined to reach the Vikings and have done that and now with the King of Wessex in  our tree we can now go to King Alfred the Great and down to Royalty. We do now have the Royal line on here down to our present queen.

My other goal was to get back to the 100's AD  but I have links to go even further back to BC  which I hope to complete soon.
