I am descended from the Ledgers of the Co Durham Tanfield/Dipton area. James who is listed in the Ryhope disasters was born in Newburn, Northumberland in 1844. He is linked to the Durham Ledgers.

My Grandfather was Roy Ledger. To my knowledge he had a younger brother James that was looked after by his aunt when their mother passed away at a young age. I think James was born in 1933 and Roy in 1929. Their parents were James and Florence. I am searching for my family tree so any information would be helpful. My Grandfather lived in Chatham, Kent and served in the NAVY.
