Family History Group

Due to polling this group will not be able to meet on the 4th May, so the next meeting will be on the 11th May at 2:00 pm at Lydiate Village Centre. Our speaker will be Kate Hurst who has been to our group on a previous occasion and whose talk then met with great enthusiasm by the group.

On the 11th her talk is entitled ‘Gamekeepers and Innkeepers’ and is a story of the gamekeepers and innkeepers in Kate’s family, who travelled from Suffolk to Nottinghamshire (via Essex, Yorkshire, North Wales and Lincolnshire) between 1800 and 1930.  Her talk will consist anecdotes of not only how her ancestors lived but how their employers lived as well. It promises to be an informative tale of ‘how the other half lived’ and more.
