Something will go here one day soon...Gaiety, merriment and dancing, etc.

Regular visitors here will have noticed the refurbishment is taking longer than expected.  This is mainly due to me getting very hooked on tracing my family history, which seems to have more skeletons than a medieval plague pit, and as many black sheep as a farm with several black sheep. 

Read about it here.

I am researching the background of Frederick George Gifford Lewis, (Frederick G G Lewis), on behalf of a friend.  We would welcome anyone who can provide any family or professional background on him.  We believe he was a solicitor, possibly with roots in Camberwell, London.  He possibly lived in Coombe Hill, near Kingston.  He probably died in 2005.  He possibly had connections with the Isle of Wight.

oogle search has brought you to this page, I would like to hear from you.  Please contact me.

I started this web site in about 1998.  As of Autumn 2016 it is getting its biggest ever refurbishment. 

My goals are to include more current information, more pictures, no dead links, consistent format and typeface, better readability on more screens, and to get rid of characters that display badly.  But no free beer.

It is a bit untidy and experimental ...but just wait...

Text first, then pictures to be replaced.

Then the missing links.
