My name is Simon Last. And I set Charnwood Genealogy up as I have always had a passion for history and genealogy and have researched into my own family history over the last few years. Having studied genealogy and obtained a Post Graduate Certificate in Genealogy through the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, I have helped several people discover their family history and developed their family trees.

A Pocket Full of Family Memories. Friday, 17 April 2015. This is a very special post which is dedicated to my paternal grandmother, Winifred Ellen Waters, who was born on this day 100 years ago. I have written about her here. I miss you every single day Nannie but I know that you are a constant guiding light in my life, and I am forever grateful for your presence.

Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards. 1920s Photograph Album belonging to Muriel Wardley. The images are much better viewed on Flickr as you can then see the labels. I figured it better to add the slideshow of the album here rather that upload 108 images to this blog to create another gallery! I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE UNWATERMARKED IMAGES TO ANYONE RELATED TO THE PEOPLE IN THESE IMAGES, SO PLEASE CONTACT ME.
