Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 079
A warm welcome to the November issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your monthly digital family and social history magazine.
Few of us will be unfamiliar with the svelte form of the former tea and wool clipper Cutty Sark, berthed at Greenwich – I can still remember visiting as a child, and despite the fire a few years ago the ship has survived to its 150th anniversary this month, looking better than never. In this issue Nicola Lisle tells its story. Turning to transport on the land, Nell Darby explores how public transport opened up new opportunities for criminals, and Jayne Shrimpton explores the history of bus crew uniforms. From clippers to clippies!
You can still get hold of our current print issue in WH Smith and online (see discoveryourancestors.co.uk) – and we’ll have details of the next one soon! Meanwhile, do enjoy this issue.
