Most of this “People” section uses the TNG software system. This shows the information held about people, families, and what happened to them. Feel free to explore and follow any links you choose.

As you move around you can ‘bookmark’ some pages, and make suggestions

For technical reasons to do with preventing automatic spam, you may need to login with a valid account to access the TNG (people) part of the website. If you do, then you will be presented with a TNG login form already filled in with the User = ‘guest’ and the password = ‘guest’. Please either accept this or enter your own login details, and click on the “TNG Login” button. Note that this TNG (people) login account is completely separate from the other (WordPress) login facility.

Under the “By Place” sub-menu item you can find

Under the “By Date” sub-menu item you can find Anniversaries of people’s memorable dates, both as a simple list and in a calendar format.

Notable People – lists individuals with particularly interesting stories. Random Choice – returns the details of a different person each time it is selected (and each time it is refreshed!).

Some guidance on how to search for people, and how to access the various displays, can be found in the Searching and FAQ pages under the “Help” menu.

Statistics about what is held can be found here, and some stories may be found in the People Blog.  The sources of the information are generally recorded with the information, and there is more detail of them in the Sources section.

The current privacy policy means that people thought to be born in the last 100 years are not shown here.  However if you are happy for your information to be shown then please use the contact form to let me know. If you have information (or photographs etc.) that could be of interest, and in particular if something is showing wrongly, please feel free to let me know.

Note that the Parish registers have only recently been transcribed, added to the website, analysed, and transferred into these TNG pages. There will still be errors and duplications among them, as well as missed relationships. If you notice any it would help tremendously if you would let us know. (How to make a comment)

Other aspects I hope to add in time include:

  • ‘Media’ (e.g. photographs, documents) linked to people
  • Censuses in a consecutive way
  • More information about people, as we can find it and make it available
