Biography
Currently am retired and leading a busy life. This has included voluntary work in the Social Enterprise sector. Have a broad range of interests. This includes family history, stamp collecting, photography and ballroom dancing.....
I have been involved in a number of organisations, Including the Ancient Order of Foresters, several Trade Unions in my working life, the Co-operative Movement along with a Credit Union and in 2018 a Trustee of Brightlingsea Lido.
As someone involved in the co-operative movement in the past as happy to support this site and to contribute in any way I am able to.
I am interested also in the breadth of the subject. Who am I related to, what did my ancestors do and to record this.....
Am particularly interested in connections to local families in Brightlingsea. My connections with the Ancient Order of Foresters has been useful. As family names feature in Annual Reports.
This is proving to be fascinating and answers to questions often produce more questions as a result.......
