So pleased to be taking part in the Genealogy Show Summer event, where I will be presenting my talk, Australian Gold Rush. This talk features family ancestors, John and George Whitfield, who sailed from Liverpool on the 27th of April 1853. Their ship, the Miles Barton, was on its inaugural trip. Advertised as the fastest clipper ship built, the journey still took 4 days short of 3 months!
To find out more and buy a ticket to the show – details are below. The code EARLYSUMMER15 reduces the ticket cost by 25%, from £20 to £15. There are numerous talks on the main stage, like my Australian Gold Rush, which will feature live chat. If you can’t watch on the day, the presentations are available for 30 days. Plus much more.
