The Archers' Family Tree

This document can only be viewed with a browser capable of scrolling sideways. I doubt whether Lynx and other text-only browsers will be able to display it correctly.

The information on which this chart is based was taken from Residents of Ambridge; however, thanks to many e-mail correspondents, there is now more information on this page than the other. To the best of my knowledge, all information here is correct. If, however, you should find an error or omission, please mail me and tell me. For other Archers related links, see my Links page.

Please note that although The Archers Is Real There Is No Cast, the information displayed below relates purely to a fly on the wall documentary radio serial. Requests for information from people attempting to trace their ancestors, or other such genealogical persuits, will not be answered politely.

Let me emphasise that one more time, for the hard of thinking. Do not e-mail to discuss whether your relations appear in this Family Tree.

I am reliably informed that this page can be printed for friends who are not blessed with an internet connection in the following manner: (X-)Windows users can highlight the text of the tree, copy it, and paste it into a word processor. Changing the font to a non-kerning one such as Courier at 6pt should display the tree within one page A4 landscape. Whether anyone will be able to read it once printed is another matter.

Another suggestion I have received is to copy the tree into that much abused spreadsheet program Excel, and again change to a non-proportional font.

Non (X-)Windows users (aka The Chosen Few) can find their own alternatives; they might like to start by saving the page as HTML verbatim.

Footnotes


  1. Peggy's second husband is Jack Wooley. They have no children, so the marriage doesn't affect the tree.
  2. Adam Macy is the illegitimate son of Jennifer and the then Brookfield cowman, Paddy Redmond, adopted by Roger Travers-Macy.
  3. Debbie Aldridge is the daughter of Roger Travers-Macy, later adopted by Brian.
  4. The relation between Sharon and Clive Horrobin was a fleeting one, resulting only in Kylie.
  5. The Horrobin clan has more children than this, but few seem important, and different resources cite different names.
