Welcome to my website and thank you for taking the time to visit.

I first became interested in researching my family history in 2004. With some  snippets of information gained from my Mum, I began a voyage of discovery which  I am still persuing today.

My journey has been both frustrating and rewarding. The frustrations have been  based on family rifts that have been carried through the ages, resulting in  many existing family members having little or no knowledge of their ascendants.  This has hampered my journey. On the bright side, I have had contact with many  people who share my enthusiasm for family history and they have been more than  willing to share photographs and information. I have met an aunt I did not know  I had and visited a distant relative in Bedford for a family reunion. I have  made contact with some of my mother's cousins who lost contact with my mum many  years ago. These wonderful people were able to provide photographs of my  Maternal Grandmother who died aged 27 when my mother was only 6 years old,  therefore I never had the opportunity to know her.

I would like to thank everybody who supplied photographs and gave permission  for them to be used on my site, in particular, Gwendoline Wayne, Janet Rayner,  Shirley Jennings and Peter Rex Brawn.

Once you have had a look around, please spare a moment to sign my guest book if  you feel inclined.
