SUMMARY:Birmingham: The Role of Women in Medieval Heraldry
DESCRIPTION:The Role of Women in Medieval Heraldry – The Peplow Memorial Lecture\nSpeaker: Dr. Paul A. Fox\nEarly heraldry at a superficial level appears to have been a very masculine affair\, but women played a much more important role than has been generally recognised.  Moreover\, the frequency with which maternal arms (or elements thereof) were inherited has been under-estimated. Such transmission can provide vital clues for pedigrees. This presentation will include some long forgotten curiosities in the way that women formerly distinguished their personal arms from those of their husbands and fathers. \nPaul is an heraldist\, genealogist\, medievalist writer\, historical researcher\, lecturer and Editor of The Coat of Arms magazine. \n  \nThis will be a face to face meeting \, unfortunately it is not possible to have Zoom as part of it.\n  \nWilliam Augustus Peplow\nGus as he was known was a successful business man from the Black Country and descended from a long line of clockmakers. He had a keen interest in Heraldry\, which he helped develop in the society\, also making authoritative surveys of the hatchments of Worcestershire. He later became President of the Worcester Archaeological Society and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. After his demise in 1983 this annual lecture was set up in his memory. \n

SUMMARY:Wolverhampton:  Who's The Daddy?
DESCRIPTION:We all encounter illegitimate births at different times in our research and the general view is that it is impossible\, or at the least very difficult\, to identify the father.  There are records that you can use to attempt to uncover the truth about the parentage – have you explored them all? \nPenny\, our group leader\, will be demonstrating some of the records that may help you identify who’s the daddy. \n  \nPlease note this is an afternoon meeting.     Doors open at 1.45 p.m. for 2.00 p.m. start
