Lady Lane, Wiltshire, leading to the medieval St Andrew's Church. The lane is reputedly haunted by the
ghost of an unknown lady.
As a family and local historian, I'm insatiably curious... I want to know how people lived and worked, the journeys they took, who they married, their family life and what became of them.
Here's where I share my discoveries: local history from my corner of Wiltshire, a good dose of railway history, family stories, and anything else which piques my interest, with guides and tips along the way to inspire your own research.
I’m a genealogist based between the railway town of Swindon and the beautiful scenery of the Cotswolds. I work at STEAM, the Museum of the Great Western Railway in Swindon, and I have a particular interest in the railway and the people who worked on it.
As well as writing this blog, I research families across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Bath and north-east Somerset, and Great Western Railway workers anywhere along the line.
