Sharing the work of others

When you start a research project there is no way of telling where it will lead or who you will get to know.

So many of the people I have come to know have been all too willing to share their research, offer critical advice or just listen to what you have to say. A few have even gone off and conducted research for me.

Now I have made no secret of my growing fascination for the story of British Home Children and it was through one of the Canadian sites dedicated to recording the stories of the young people sent from Britain to Canada and later Australia that I came to know Lori.

Like all descendants of British Home Children she is passionate about the subject and in her case has led to spin off research which I would like to share.
www.firemanswedding.com tells the story of the Gillingham Park Fete Tragedy of 11 July 1929 and is in memory of Cadet Eric Edward Cheesman.
www.gillinghambattleb26crash.weebly.com remembers the American B26 crew who perished in Gillingham, Kent and Battle Sussex on 6 June 1944.

Both are wonderful examples of meticulous research, presentation and good writing.
