The Doherty Family Website

Welcome to the Doherty Family Website. I have tried to create a home for my archive of family photographs, video (including some 8mm cine) and slideshows. It is a work in progress and I think it always will be. I have a large amount of photographic material gathered from my early days aged about 12 with my first still camera and a standard 8 cine camera to the digital albums with my family some forty odd years later.

It will take some considerable time to scan (and repair in most cases) the 35mm slide archive as well as the prints taken in later years but I believe it may be worth the wait. If you have any specific occasion or photographic item you would like to see appear next, just drop me a line and I will do what I can to oblige

The archive pages sit behind a log-in and password. Please contact Tony to obtain a log-in which will enable you to browse the photographic and video files.


Enjoy!

In these difficult times I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of those people who are taking positive steps to beat the Pandemic Covid-19 Virus. Be that delivery workers, shopkeepers, the many people who keep our utilities running, the binmen, our emergency services and our NHS staff or simply those who stay at home, they are all heroes.

To my family and friends I say, keep your chin up and look after each other. I'm proud to know you all.

My website hasn't been updated for quite some time as the authoring software I use had become a little cumbersome and the site physically too large for it to handle.

I will be re-building a slimmer site in the near future - Please let me know if there is any particular aspect of the site you would like me to retain in the new build.

There was a lovely family gathering on 4th August in Macclesfield to celebrate Aunty Norma's 80th Birthday.

The sunshine came out just as soon as the family got together in the garden at Julie & Dave's home and remained throughout the day.

A wonderful day for a wonderful lady.
