Historian - Genealogist - Author

Historical Research

As this country has not been invaded since 1066, there are extraordinarily rich document collections relating to land, buildings and people of all social classes in every county.

Genealogy

Thirty-five years of genealogical research and the compiling of attested pedigrees are at your disposal for ancestors in any part of the British Isles.

Writer & Author

I've written four books and many articles for numerous magazines.  The most recent book is Tracing Your Kent Ancestors - A Guide For Local and Family Historians.

Palaeography

I have taught these closely related subjects for many years, following a doctorate in Latin palaeography and textual criticism from University College, London.  

Stamps & Philately

As a long-time professional philatelic cataloguer and valuer, I buy stamps and will make an immediate cash offer without obligation after examining your material. 

Intestacy

The laws of intestacy are strict and dictate that the estate must be divided only between certain blood relatives of the deceased, all of whom must be located.
