The information contained herein, appertains to the family tree of James (Jim) & Carol (nee Nolan) Ackroyd.
Immediately we have another surname, that of my wife Carol. Her maiden name is Nolan.
Then of course my mother's maiden name, Maloney. My grandmother's maiden name was Cunningham and so on, ad-infinitum. So you can see that there are numerous surnames when researching your family history.

It is my sincere belief that all Ackroyds are related (Barring the odd infidelity of course!) So if you are called Ackroyd or one of the variant spellings or have 'Ackroyd' blood in your veins, then chances are we are cousins. Hi cousin!!

If you are looking at this site, then, chances are that you have at least a small interest in South Yorkshire.
