A short history of the Stanley Family in Tameside dating back approximately four hundred years. Although links with the illustrious Earls of Derby have not been found, some of the stories discovered plus the odd family skeleton have proved no less interesting and in conclusion far more surprising.

Main associated surnames:

CARTWRIGHT, NEWTON, JACKSON, METCALFE, HORSFALL, KLAUS, DEANE, WILDE.
