I am a self-employed genealogist and historian, and have always had a great interest in local history.

In my early thirties I left an office job to study for a degree in history at the University of Sussex, and ended up studying for a further five years, obtaining an MA and an MPhil.

I started up a genealogy business in 2010, and qualified as a member of AGRA (The Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives) shortly afterwards. Researching family histories is rarely dull, and every case I work on is fascinating to me.

My talks are generally both informative and entertaining.
