First class degree in history from Sussex University 1996. Enthusiastic family history researcher and member of a local Family History Society. Founding trustee, secretary and cataloguer for our local social history museum, which was set up as a millennium project – and is still going strong.
'Set in the early 1800's, this book is written so well that you feel you are actually living in that time! The story is of two childhood friends, Tom and Jos, and the different directions their lives take them. For Tom, his challenge is life as a priest in north Lancashire, dealing with the Chartism movement. Jos, on the other hand, is a farmer, but is charged with theft and deported to Australia. Life throws a lot at these two men, and the evolution of the story is well-written and depicted. Goodreads
