I often create many articles which are perhaps not suitable for journals such as Cheshire History but which may be of interest to some, especially local people. The Internet is an ideal medium for presenting such facts.
Articles which appear will be updated and added to from time to time and, unlike
some other history sites, most will be properly referenced with sources. More

As a keen local historian have been studying the history of Cheshire especially the Northwich and Middlewich areas for fifty years. Over the years I have written a number of books and articles on various aspects of Cheshire History.
As well as being a member of a number of academic societies in the region,
I had two three year terms as chair of the Cheshire Local History Association and
am still an active member of its executive committee with a responsibility for their
web-site. Currently I am Chairman of the Northwich Heritage Society and an active
member of the Winsford and District History Society.
I regularly give talks to various organisations throughout Cheshire. My topics cover local and family history, Domesday and Medieval Cheshire, Salt making, Cheshire churches & Heraldry.
All talks are illustrated using computerised projection.
I am happy to undertake professional research at all the record repositories and libraries in Cheshire and neighbouring counties. I can also provide an advice and assistance service to those undertaking their own family history research and have hit a ‘brick wall’. Having a great deal of knowledge about Cheshire sources I can perhaps point you in the right direction!
