Expert Research
I have over 25 years of experience in genealogy, it has been my full time career since I started my own small business in 2017.
All research follows the internationally recognised Genealogical Proof Standard, ensuring research is exhaustive and accurate. Using a variety of historical sources, both online and offline.
Family Tree Scroll: Names, Dates and Occupations
Discover the full name of each ancestor, dates of birth and death (as per their birth/baptism/death/burial record wherever possible) and the Occupations of your ancestors, giving a glimpse into their social class and daily life.
Family Tree Scroll: Birthplaces & Geography
Displaying the village/town & county where each ancestor was born along with a country flag under each person, so you can see how the branches tie together.
Family Tree Scroll: Add Living Family
Spouses / Partners, Children, Grandchildren, Great-Grandchildren can all be added, to bring the family tree up to date, and ensure the little ones will know how they fit into the family story in years to come.
You’ll be prompted to provide names and dates of birth in the Research Questionnaire.
Record Book: Births
Discover the exact addresses your ancestors were born, their birthdays, parents names and father’s occupation - details that offer an insight to the social class and family circumstances they were born into.
Record Book: Marriages
Painting a picture of your ancestors wedding day – the age of the bride and groom and the exact Church or Register Office they exchanged their vows. Also, their occupations and addresses at the time, their fathers’ names and professions and names of witnesses.
Record Book: Deaths
Learn how your ancestors died - from natural causes and disease to accidents and unexpected tragedy. Find out about the illnesses they endured, how long they were unwell, where they spent their final moments, how old they were when they passed away, and who was by their side, or present in the same household.
Record Book: Census Records
A snapshot in time that allows you to step inside the everyday lives of your ancestors.
Discover the homes they lived in, who shared their household, and exactly how old each person was at that moment in time. Learn how they spent their days – at work, attending school, caring for children, or managing the family home.
Maybe your great-grandmother combined domestic responsibilities with additional work as a dressmakes, charwomen or laundress, to supplement the household income.
Addresses and occupations offer clues to where your ancestors worked - from London’s famous docks to Yorkshire’s many mills and factories, some of which may still be standing today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you trace Irish people?
Yes. My areas of genealogy expertise are in England, Scotland, Wales, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Irish ancestry can be tricky partly due to the Public Record Office fire of 1922, but it’s a myth that this event made irish ancestry impossible.
What if my ancestors weren't from the UK?
It is often possible — and sometimes easier! — to research ancestors from outside the UK, particularly those from the United States, Australia and many parts of Europe. A vast number of international records are available online and I've had great success with many family trees where an ancestor was born outside the UK.
What if some of my ancestors can’t be traced?
It's rare I can't find someone. Occassionally, particulary before civil registration (when birth, marriage and death certification became law), it may not be possible to find an exact date or birth or death, in which case you may see approximation (e.g. 'c1832') or reference to the last known record (e.g. c1832 - >1867)
Can you use DNA?
My area of expertise is in paper records so while I can use DNA results to resolve some queries, complex cases require a Genetic Genealogist.
What if I’m adopted?
If you'd like to trace the ancestors of your biological parents, you'll need to know their identities. This can usually be achieved by gaining access to adoption records, DNA or a combination of the two. To find out more about adoption records, visit www.gov.uk/adoption-records
