The Family History Society of Cheshire ........ celebrating 50 years in 2019

There is a heritage to the pub names and signs in Britain, which depict everything from historic events, local folklore and occupations to royalty, notable characters, ancient associations and heraldry. The inn names and signs of Cheshire may hold a key to some of the county's past.

The Members' meeting in February 2020 was very well attended and received, so much so, that not everybody with a prepared talk had a chance to speak. Sylvia Dillon noted the names of those people and we are hoping they will all come along to this meeting, so finally, we can listen to their talks.

Lots of stalls of interest to Family and Local Historians, for both beginner or more experienced. (Please click on image for further information.)

The 8th May 2020 is the 75th anniversary of V E day -the end of war in Europe - 8th May 1945. The war changed many people's lives. Have you a story to tell about a relative(s) who perhaps did a different wartime job - Land Girl, Auxiliary Fireman, or was an evacuee, a prisoner of war, or was posted abroad? Perhaps you have a photograph, a wartime document, or a piece of memorabilia you would like to talk about. Maybe you have found the 1939 register of use in searching for a relative(s) or an address at the start of the war. All are of interest, especially on this Remembrance Day.
