One of my more recent articles can now be read online, just click on the link – Articles – Recent. He lived in the 18th century and had a connection to Hook Norton. A brief reference is made in the article about severe gales which hampered the voyage to the West Indies in 1795. A follow up article has been written – Disaster at Chesil Beach. This too can be found under Articles – Recent
I enjoy writing articles about items I have researched. Most of them are linked to my family history research. A recent one about William McGill, born William Nelson, can be found under the Genealogy section on this site.
One of the picture libraries I submitted images to suggested I write about some of the subjects I had photographed. They say that if you can produce words and pictures then you have a greater chance of making sales. I wrote several articles and submitted them to the library but they never saw the light of day. I did submit them independently to magazines with better success and two such articles can be found under the Articles – Fact section. They are Child Farm Workers and Window Tax. Admittedly they were written a number of years ago and hopefully my style has improved in recent years.
