The Family History Society of Cheshire

Members and visitors tell us about some of their own family history research and discoveries

The June FHSC Cheshire Research Buddies topic of the month is Bebington- Do you have ancestors in the town, or are you researching a local family and want some help, perhaps on the other hand you live in the locality and could offer help with photographing gravestones or buildings. This is the chance for members to help each other, I'm sure there are many members out there with knowledge of the area that they could share. If you have a research question then please feel free to email me on  and I will circulate it among attendees beforehand.

You will need to register to attend, to do so please click on the 'Register [Individual]' button below on the left and process your registration, you will receive an email confirmation and the zoom links/meeting protocol will be forwarded the morning of the helpdesk meeting. If you run into any difficulties with this then please contact Margaret Roberts on .

NOTE that registration closes at 10am on the morning of the meeting.

‘A History of the City that Shaped the Modern World’

An illustrated presentation given by Brian Groom,

author of his soon-to-be published book of that title,

and of 'Northerners - a History'.

The astonishing story of how the people of Manchester and its region shaped the emergence of the modern world, from the Romans to today, will be outlined by

Brian Groom, author of the bestselling 'Northerners: A History'. Based on his forthcoming book, 'Made in Manchester: a People's History of the City that Shaped the Modern World', Brian will talk about individuals, famous or not, who built the region and its culture and ask what part it can play in Britain’s future.
