Andy Sefton's Genealogy

Welcome!

Last update: 6th October 2007 (2689 people in database*). I am afraid the software I used at the time in 2007 is no longer working under Windows 10, so I need to find new software to do it. Watch this space.

This website is now under the domain of andysefton.com. I also created, maintain and update my other domain of 'https://pocklingtonhistory.com' .

On this site, I am researching the Sefton, Rivis, Sleightholme and Todd family names and these pages show the results of my findings so far.

Below is the wedding of Walter and Dorothy Sefton (my father and mother) on the 11th September 1937 at St. Mary's Church in Scarborough. Hover over the picture with your mouse cursor to see an enlargement above, or touch it on a tablet.

Note: Some of the information on this site is derived from non-primary sources (e.g. the IGI) so please inform me of any mistakes.

* Because of the Data Protection Act the surname list only displays individuals whose birth is prior to 1907 (100 years). 2007 was the time of last update. When I get new software I will show individuals born prior to 1920.
