Rod's Other Web Sites.  



I am interested in the design of Web Sites and the interpreting of that design in the Hyper Text Markup Language.
Below are my other sites and
a description of their content and aims.

 mymotors.4t.com
This site is a gallery page showing my collection of model aeroplane motors.

Although started to display the tree of Murgatroyds in New Zealand, I have also drawn some earlier trees on this site that might be of more general interest.

The Murgatroyd Pedigree Tree from 1371

  • by Jack Harrison
  • by William B Murgatroyd
  • By R.D.Murgatroyd

The family line from Henry of Oatsroyd 1607
The family line of the house at Hartley Royd...under investigation

A Time Line showing the families in the Halifax area from 1539 to 1579

Another interest is in the Railways of New Zealand both full sized and model.

This site, for the New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society, gives a comprehensive look at the activities, archival material, publications and preservation work entered into by them. Photo galleries show some of the early steam locomotives.

For recreation I model New Zealand Railways and have a large portable demonstration layout - Pictures on this site.

I also am interested in electronics as used on the model railway and have done some design work on signalling systems, for protypical effect and for controlling model train operations.

 


Here are some web sites I have found with other Murgatroyd interest.

Bob (Robert) Murgittroyd would really like to hear from any other Murgittroyds as familys with this name spelling are rare. Check out his page at - now gone, use Google...http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~murg/

Although only briefly mentioning Murgatroyd and Kershaw House in Luddenden, the site at
http://members.tripod.com/~midgley/index-1/html gives some interesting insight into the early history of the area around Midgley and the origins of that surname.
