 For many years I worked as a professional genealogist and local historian for Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Birmingham. Starting in the early days, before the internet so am very experienced when using the numerous collections of original records. 

Now living in South Derbyshire, but still having a base in Worcestershire, my interest in history will now spread over a larger area.

As a writer I have written many articles for genealogical and local history magazines and so far have had six books published by The History Press - Worcestershire Family History Guidebook, Birmingham Murder and Crime, Warwick Murder and Crime, Coventry Murders, A Brummie in the Family and The Little History of Worcestershire.

I have been giving talks for many years and have visited many different types of groups and societies. Local History Groups, Family History Societies, WI’s, Probus, U3A, to name but a few, as well as small intimate meetings and lunchtime clubs. 

Click on the link 'My Talks' for a full list of the talks I give. 

You will see from this list I give quite a variety of talks on many topics, many within the family and social history frame.
