Talks
I have given a number of in-person and online talks for the Society of Genealogists, the Register of Qualified Genealogists, Family Tree Magazine, the Modern Cockney Festival and local history groups.
Queen Catherine Court, Ratcliff: a turning point in the history of social housing
in London
(this was a slum in East London where my ancestors lived)
The Stepney Union Casebooks: 'a mine of great wealth'
(this record set contains a vast amount of genealogical information about those
receiving assistance from Stepney Poor Union)
The Crown and Garter, Inkpen: Fact, Fiction and Folklore
(as well as investigating the building and its landlords, I discovered new evidence of
the Combe Gibbet murders)
My 'Eureka' Ethelinda Moment: the importance of marriage witnesses
(how one unusual name enabled me to push back 5 generations in a family tree)
Making the Invisible Visible: non-elite women in pre-famine south-west Ireland
(using the records of the Schull Loan Fund Association to ‘bring back to life’
an elusive group of women)
