Your history

HAVE you ever wondered where your ancestors went to school? Where would we find their records?

Leicestershire and Rutland Family History Society, Loughborough Group’s autumn programme begins on Tuesday, September 19, with a talk on ‘Education and its Records’ by Eve McLaughlin who will be able to help us find the answers to these questions.
