    20th Century Sources England and Wales with Janet Few

    7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

    20th Century Sources England and Wales with Janet Few


    Guild contact: Julie Goucher

    For the Guild’s webinar in March 2023 we welcome Janet Few. We often neglect the twentieth century as being ‘not really history’ but there is plenty of one-name research that can be done. Twentieth century research brings with it the difficulties of larger and more mobile populations as well as records that are closed to view, so here are some sources that can help you to bring those more recent one-name study members to life.

    Attendees will learn about some of the sources that will help with 20th century one-name research, and this likely to be of interest to all family historians.

    About the speaker

    Janet is a long-standing Guild member, who has been working on the Braund one-name study for over forty years. She is a well-known speaker and the President of  the Family History Federation.

    This webinar is available FREE (registration is required), to members of the public, Guild members and members of the genealogical and local history community, so why not share the information and join us on:

    1 March 2023 at 7.30pm GMT 

    The recording was available to members only for a two week period, ending on 19 March 2023, this is due to copyright requirements.

    Strat Liddiard Papers – A Liddiard study from circa 1880-1960 from 3 generations of Liddiard’s

    7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

    Strat Liddiard Papers – A Liddiard study from circa 1880-1960 from 3 generations of Liddiard’s


    Guild contact: Julie Goucher

    Join us as the Guild of One-Name Studies connects with the Liddiard Family History Society, and as we walk back in time and look at the invaluable research into the Liddiard name carried out by William Bedford Liddiard (1849-1918) his son Edgar Stratton Liddiard (1878-1963) and grandson Alexander Rockley Liddiard (1917-1993).

    The photograph shown here is of William Bedford holding his grandson Alexander Rockley Liddiard, with Edgar Stratton looking on.

    I consider myself very lucky to have a copy of 85% of the collection, which includes some records that are no longer available. This line is from the Ogbourne St Andrew Liddiard’s, a line that we can prove from 1453 right through till today. The study was a full-time job for them, as they travelled extensively throughout England seeking out the records, they corresponded with many archives and other Liddiard’s to pull together not just their own line but many other lines of the Liddiard family.

    Their citations and references to the documents they looked at have allowed me to walk in their footsteps and help transcribe and preserve this amazing collection of papers. The record’s include wills, tax rolls, letters, photos, parish records and birth death and marriage certificates and of course family trees. Even today I consider it a How to guide for a One-Name Study.

    For more information on the Liddiard One-Name Study and FHS please visit HERE

    This webinar ,which is hosted by the Guild of One-Name Studies is FREE to attend, but registration is required, which can be done HERE we hope you will join us on
