We asked members who had hit a brick wall in their research, to contact us to see if we could sort it out. Research was undertaken by Maureen Spinks, Tom Locke and Shirley Tutton, making use of the various subscription sites which the Society pays for. After 80 years of not knowing, Ivor Martin, whose father was adopted, at last found out the identity of his paternal ancestors. Will and John Dallimore learned more about the family of their late mother, Myrtle Grace Dallimore (née Blakeway), who was orphaned as a child. Penny Christison needed help with illegitimate ancestors in a small village in Hampshire, and Terry Sparrow’s queries, on the face of it, were quite straightforward, but turned into quite an interesting detective story. Due to popular demand, both the October and November lectures were repeated the following week via Zoom.
