This site will delve into the history of the Charles family tree from Desertmartin, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland and detailing the connection with the Colquhouns from Luss in Scotland.

 

In the picture to the left from 2000, May Charles is seated in the centre, surrounded by (at that time) her surviving 10 children.

​

Clockwise from left - on floor, Maureen, Jean, Mavis, Roy, Esther, Geoffrey, Deborah, Raymond, Emma and Anne.

 

The site details the old and current Charles branches of the family tree as well as the history of the  Colquhoun family (May Charles' maiden name.)

 

As a result, the site is broken down into three main parts - 

The Charles Family pre 1905; 

The Colquhoun family; 

The Charles Family after 1905.

                                                                                
Photos relating to the extended Charles family can be found under More-Gallery in the menu.
