Research Buddies: Poynton and Prestbury

30-08-2025 2:00 pm -4:00 pm
FHSC Members only
Research Buddies: Poynton and Prestbury

The April FHSC Cheshire Research Buddies topic of the month is Poynton and Prestbury  - 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

Jules Verne and friends

Most will have heard of the ninenteenth-century French author, Jules Verne, if not read some of his novels (including Around the World in Eighty Days, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Centre of the Earth).  You may not, however, be aware that his first visit outside of France was to Liverpool and Birkenhead, and that he set parts of several of his novels in Birkenhead!  John Lamb will be telling us more.
