I first became interested in family history at the age of ten, after spotting a family tree chart in a Yorkshire mill shop and that was it – a lifelong interest was born!
For as long as I can remember I’ve loved sharing history, and through my work editing History Scotland magazine, and as web editor on Family Tree, I’m lucky enough to be able to share this passion with a wide audience.
Outside the history world I spend lots of time exploring the Yorkshire countryside and finding out about the women of years gone by – whether famous or known only to their friends and family, all had their own story to tell.
