The Descent Of The Ancient Widdrington Family Of Northumberland
Biography & Memoir History Local & Regional History
The Descent of the Ancient Widdrington Family of Northumberland by Malcolm John McGann charts the centuries-spanning lineage of one of Northumberland’s most enduring clans. This 2013 illustrated hardcover blends genealogy, local history, and social narrative to show how the Widdringtons shaped—and were shaped by—the English-Scottish borderlands.
Family historians and collectors of antiquarian reference books will appreciate the tidy, fully referenced pedigree tables and rarely-seen images that accompany the text. McGann’s meticulous research turns what could be a dry reference into an engaging true story of landed gentry, civil war loyalties, and changing fortunes.
The book itself is in very good condition: clean, unmarked pages, no dog-ears, a tight binding, and only light external scuffing. It comes from a smoke-free Australian home and is ready for immediate shelving or gift-giving.
Ideal for adults and young adults tracing their own Northumberland roots or anyone fascinated by British regional history, this copy offers a well-preserved window into the Widdrington legacy without the premium price of a new print.
