The Life and Times of Thomas Stokes, Apprentice

Speaker: Steve Manning

A fascinating ‘how to do it’ family history adventure built around the indenture papers signed by Thomas Stokes of Yarwell, Northamptonshire and his widowed mother in 1842.

Steve’s interest in Family History began when he was still a teenager. Unsurprisingly, his level of activity waxed and waned over the years as work and family needs took priority, but that early enthusiasm never dimmed. Looking back with the wisdom of years, he acknowledges much of his early research had serious shortcomings – but he has absolutely no regrets about having started out so young.

Steve currently serves as both Chairman of the Family History Federation and President of the Peterborough & District Family History as well as being a member of various other family history societies. An enthusiastic public speaker, he absolutely loves talking on his favourite topic – Family History! He is based on the Cambridgeshire / Lincolnshire / Norfolk border, so delivering talks by Zoom works!
