How good a researcher are you?

Bring your research talents and know how to our 'People' and 'Place' Workshop on the 3rd August 2022.

Ray Fordham left a number of documents and databases to the Society that he had rescued from the Royal Arsenal Woolwich when it closed. Among the files are WW2 lists of names without source or exact date, but they give addresses within the Arsenal boundary.

The idea of this workshop is to discover the sources that may provide more information as to who these people were and what happened to them.

The files also contain a number of lists of the bombs that fell on the Arsenal and the surrounding borough and parishes. The names and location of these casualties will eventually become databases on our web site.

During the workshop these lists will be compared with the names on the address lists.

As this period 1939 – 45 is difficult to research a record of the sources discovered will be produced to help other members of the society in their research.
