Would-be genealogists have never
had it so good thanks to a
proliferation of TV shows,
magazines and websites all tapping into the
public demand for all things ancestral. The
popular TV programme Who Do You Think
You Are? was a fascinating insight as
celebrities including Bruce Forsyth, JK
Rowling and Robin Gibb explored their
ancestry, often with intriguing results. But
you don’t have to be a celebrity to find out
more and there’s a wealth of information
out there to get you started.
Years ago you might have had to rely on a
tenacious nature and impeccable eyesight
as tracing your family tree would have
meant hours of painstaking exploration,
often scouring dusty documents or illegible
microfiche to find out more but, thanks to
modern technology, the clues to the past can
now be found at the press of a button. The
Who Do You Think You Are? magazine, a
spin-off from the TV series, has plenty of tips
and advice on how to get started. Launched
in 2007, it now has 23,000 readers monthly
and editor Sarah Williams describes the
demand for information as ‘big business’
as growing amounts of information goes
online: “It’s still the tip of the iceberg
compared to what’s in the archives but it is a
great starting point.”
Williams regularly hears amazing tales
from people who’ve unearthed interesting
family history: “If you discover an ancestor
had an interesting sounding job it’s now so
easy to research the period online and find
out more.” More recent additions to online
information, such as newspaper reports, add
to the excitement: “You can do a speculative
search, tap in a name and see what happens;
then you get the juicier stories,” says
Williams who identifies two ‘triggers’ to
people researching their families: “The death
of a relative is often when you inherit a box
of treasured objects, or the birth of a child is
It’s a family affair...Delving deep into the past in search of your
ancestry has become an increasingly popular
pastime and researching your family tree has
never been easier. Retirement brings with
it the chance to finally try all those things
you’ve long been meaning to do, so why not
find out now exactly if you’re who you think
you are? Ginetta Vedrickas reports...
Case study: The Johns Family
Heather Johns (pictured right with her parents), from South
London began researching her family history over 20 years
ago to try and find out more on behalf of her mother Wendy
Moorhouse Johns, from Banbury in Oxfordshire. Vintage clothing
store owner Heather explains: “My mother had been fostered
and never knew her real family so I started researching for
her. It was different then, involving painstaking searches at
Somerset House, and it all began with finding my mother’s
birth certificate.” Heather unearthed fascinating detail and,
not only did she reunite Wendy with long-lost half brothers
and sisters, but also discovered some amazing coincidences
with her own life. “I found my great, great grandfather
lived on the exact same spot where I later lived in Brixton.
He ran a market stall selling ice cream and potatoes and
I too started running a market stall there. It was amazing
and I’m still finding out more detail today, although
searching is so much easier now that everything’s online.”

store owner Heather explains: “My mother had been fostered
her. It was different then, involving painstaking searches at
Somerset House, and it all began with finding my mother’s
birth certificate.” Heather unearthed fascinating detail and,
not only did she reunite Wendy with long-lost half brothers
when you feel you want to pass information
down. But retirement is a great chance to
start a project that perhaps you’ve always
wanted to take up.”
Family history site www.findmypast.co.uk
was the first company to make the
complete birth, marriage and death indexes
for England & Wales available online in
April 2003, winning the Queen’s Award
for Innovation, and it now offers access
to over 750 million records as far back
as 875 AD. You can search for ancestors
among military, census, migration, parish,
education and work records, as well as the
original comprehensive birth, marriage and
death records. The company runs the official
1911 census website for England & Wales in
association with The National Archives.
Debra Chatfield, a family historian, started
www.findmypast.co.uk after buying her first
house: “This is what sparked my interest. It
was a 100-year old cottage lived in by the
same family for generations, with an old
paper mill over the road and I wanted to
find out more about who’d lived there.”
Chatfield agrees that retirement is the
perfect time to start researching your family
tree but she warns: “It can be quite time
consuming and compulsive, it’s like taking
up a new hobby. “
Chatfield discovered some tragic family
history of her own: “I was reading Vera
Brittain’s Testament of Youth at the time and,
although I’d heard stories about my paternal
grandmother from my own mother, I found
my own family contained a similar story to
the book. My grandmother married on
Valentine’s Day, 1918, yet her husband, the
only son in a family of five, died in July of
the same year, just months before the war
finished.” Chatfield never fails to be amazed
by coincidences: “It is incredible just how
many there are. On our forum, I often see
stories similar to my own. I’ve found that I live
within fifteen minutes of where my ancestors
lived and died in a Shoreditch workhouse. It
does change the way you feel and make you
thankful for each day.”
And of course, researching family history is
not just about the dead adds Chatfield: “I’ve
now found second cousins who I’d never
met, who have introduced me to another
part of the family in the US. I’ve got a lot of
old photos and was able to scan and email
them, so that a 70-year old man in the US,
whose father had emigrated, was able to see
a picture of his grandmother for the very first
time. It’s amazing how far we’ve come.”

The South West county of Dorset is a rich and multi-layered landscape, home to the bustling resorts of Bournemouth and Poole with their many attractions and activities, charming market towns and villages and miles of beautiful, unspoilt countryside waiting to be explored. Over half the county is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and three-quarters of its coastline is a World Heritage Site that features breathtaking scenery including Lulworth Cove, Chesil Beach and Durdle Door.
…relaxing…The beautiful coastal town of Bournemouth is the county’s largest town and is renowned for its seven miles of Blue Flag award-winning beaches with stunning views of the Isles of Wight and Purbeck, perfect for relaxing in a deck-chair, strolling along the traditional seaside piers or enjoying the breathtaking coastline from a traditional beach hut.
The pedestrianised town centre has an eclectic mix of shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafés and is set against the backdrop of the town’s award-winning Victorian gardens which play host to many events and attractions during the summer months.Osbourne Lodge is a beautiful development of 54 one and two-bedroom retirement apartments, ideally located between Bournemouth town centre and the thriving shopping area of Westbourne, where you will find a good range of essential amenities
alongside a variety of independent stores, cafés and restaurants.To the east of Bournemouth is the popular suburb of Southbourne with its traditional shopping area, woodland walk and golden sandy beaches. Set on the cliff top above these beaches, Dean Lodge holds an enviable position offering spectacular views across Bournemouth Bay and towards the Isle of Wight.
…exploring…This brand new development of 42 one and two-bedroom retirement apartments is ideally located for the main shopping area of Southbourne, Southbourne Grove, a traditional high street with some independent and individual shops.
Leading from the Southbourne Grove shops to the cliff top is Fisherman’s Walk, a Green Flag Award winning woodland walk with a nature trail, formal walled garden with ornamental pond and a bandstand which is used for regular events throughout the year.The Fisherman’s Walk Cliff Railway, a funicular railway which runs between the cliff top coastal road and the promenade and beach, provides very easy access to Southbourne’s Blue Flag beach from which it is possible to reach the beaches at Boscombe and Bournemouth.Dean Lodge is ideally placed for exploring the surrounding area, which includes the Hengistbury Head headland and Nature Reserve and the small Saxon town of Christchurch with castle ruins, a beautiful 11th Century Priory and Quay overlooking the natural harbour.
Dorset delights
…scenery…Enjoying a unique setting in the heart of the Blackmore Vale countryside is the town of Gillingham, the most northerly town in the county. Much of the area was the inspiration for Thomas Hardy’s ‘Wessex’, the setting of many of his novels, and Gillingham was famously used in his novel Jude the Obscure.
Royal Lodge is a delightful development of 35 one and two-bedroom retirement apartments which is ideally located on the edge of the High Street, within easy reach of the local shops and essential amenities.Nearby is the famous National Trust house and gardens at Stourhead with the associated walking, bridleways and cycling paths from Stourhead village through the actively managed woods all the way to Alfred’s Tower and beyond.
…historyClose to the historic market town of Wimborne is another National Trust property, the elegant country mansion of Kingston Lacy, set in attractive, formal gardens and extensive parkland. This striking 17th-century house is noted for its lavish interiors and outstanding art collection, whilst outside you can stroll across the beautiful lawns towards the restored Japanese tea garden.
Wimborne itself is an enticing blend of old and new, where modern stores and independent boutiques sit side by side in hidden courtyards and pedestrianised squares. The town is dominated by the beautiful Wimborne Minster, a Saxon Church with Norman and Gothic architecture, set on a serene green.The town is also home to the Tivoli Theatre, a 1930s art deco cinema; the Priest’s House Museum with its tranquil walled garden; the charming Wimborne Model Town depicting 1950s Wimborne and Walford Mill Crafts showcasing contemporary crafts.
Well-located on the edge of the town centre and ideally placed to enjoy the unique charm of Wimborne, Bennett Lodge is a brand new development of 30 one and two-bedroom apartments which is due to launch in April 2013.
To find out more about any of these developments, where you could be enjoying a new lifestyle in your retirement, please call 0800 988 0786 or visit www.churchillretirement.co.uk.
