WELCOME
In the past this website was used to market my services. Nowadays that lies behind me - thank goodness! I still help out with digital media for the estate of Noël Coward and in 2016 became a member of the Noël Coward Foundation that supports young people across the globe in theatre, drama, writing and music projects and I still edit Home Chat a magazine about Noël Coward. This website is now dedicated to interests, Family and Community. Details of four families of antecedents are summarised in their dedicated pages with background on the discoveries to date. We have added a letters page that contains scans of letters found from the papers of some of the families (more are always welcome). And a page that contains scans of all of the certificates that I have at the moment. The Family Pages require a password for access.
LATEST NEWS
The Community tag has disappeared and a link is included in the Performance Page. The link goes to the Hellesdon Community Choir that Beryl and I help organise.
Performance: We have re-jigged the Performance Page so that there is more info about the different generations of performers. Hope to have some more information about Paul Askew's work at the BBC and his musical performances as a player as well.
Family History: We have been contacted by two family members. As a result of this contact we have a new page as part of our Family Pages
Bagshot Park: there is a new page with images of Bagshot Park where one of our ancestors in the KNOWLES family was Head Gardener. We hope to add images of Friars Park as well where another KNOWLES ancestor was Head Gardener.
