Just a quick heads up.

I have been engaged by the SoG to give a series of talks on identifying and dating military photos and badges.

Buckinghamshire / Padbury
« on: Friday 28 April 23 14:39 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can help pse??

Some years ago (1999 I believe) Padbury Parish Council published a book called "Padbury Through The Years".

I have been after a copy for sometime now, as my great grandparents feature in it quite a lot as I have been informed by a newly found relative!!

I have tried the Parish Council, Abebooks, Evilbay and all the usual places....Even a tiny bookseller called Cottage Books who normally have the obscure and forgotten county/countryside/village/FH books!

After a while...

Lots of things have changed, and the major one being...Ive had a book published on looking at, dating  and identifying military cap badges and uniforms by Pen and Sword books.

Some of you may have missed me, others less so, but Im here again!

Many plans failed the first contact test!

The Common Room / Henshaw of Chichester
« on: Monday 05 January 15 19:21 GMT (UK)  »
Further to a find a couple of years which reunited a pile of military ephemera to a family, I have found another small but poignant piece of history.

Thus I am looking for any descendants of Sarah Henshaw of 6 Shopwyke Rd Chichester. Please PM me as I have found something that may well be lost family history. I will of course ask to see confirmation of relationship. :)

There is a WW2 Naval connection....
