We are pleased that many SAG members came forward and offered to give short talks on various occupations and trades.

We are excited to learn about:

  • Carpet weaving
  • They're Not 'Just' Ag.Labs and Farmers
  • Shoe making
  • Print ink manufacturing in London
  • Japanning
  • Cowkeeping
  • Hand loom weavers
  • Apothecaries
  • Stationers
  • Saggar Maker's Bottom Knocker - that'll be interesting!
  • Railway plate layer
  • Ale Wife

What a varied and interesting meeting with lots of social history and learning about the way of life of many of our ancestors.

We look forward to seeing you all at our first meeting for 2025.

Come along and join us as we research our English ancestors in a collaborative, friendly and engaging research group. Make sure you have your questions ready and also be ready to assist others if you are able to as this is the basis of what all SAG Groups are about - people helping other people with ideas and suggestions about their family research. 

This is an online session using the Zoom platform.
