Dartford Branch Meetings

If you have a brushmaker in your family,  this could be a new source for you to investigate.

Ken Doughty was born in Lewisham but has lived in Essex for most of his life. He worked for BT as a fault diagnostician and apart from family history his main hobby is music and playing the guitar.

His great grandfather (born 1829) was a brushmaker. Ken formed the Society of Brushmakers'  Descendants in 1993, and now all references, whether related or not, are reported to the Society.

Doors open 9.45am. The meeting will start at 10.30am and end by 12.30pm. 

The talk will be preceded by the Dartford Branch Annual Meeting.

The venue has a large, free car park but it is shared with other users and can be busy at times.

No booking, just turn up.

The Society is a registered charity and membership fees and donations are an important part of our income. The Talk is free to members but guests and visitors are asked to make a donation towards hall hire and speaker's fee. There will be a donations box at the venue.

But Society membership only costs £10 a year (£12 joint members) https://www.nwkfhs.org.uk/about/membership/our-membership  If joining after 1 October membership lasts until 31 December the following year.
