Family History
Group Leader Janice Hayes
We help each other to research our ancestors and step back into their world. Our twice monthly meetings take place at Winmarleigh House (the Masonic Hall in Winmarleigh Street) from 10.30 to 12.30 on 1st and 3rd Friday (excepting bank holidays).
The programme for 2023/24 is shown below but we are also exploring opportunities for small group visits to venues of interest to Family Historians so watch out for any upcoming details.
