Bletchley - John Flewin - An Emigration Story : 4th December 2024
Probably the longest emigration voyage in history I have seen this story and it is fascinating not least because it shows how it is possible to use a variety of sources to tell a story about a family member. Not to be missed!” I am sure we are in for another interesting evening. (There may well be Mince Pies!)
All are welcome to attend the meeting at The Methodist Church Hall, Queensway, Bletchley at 7.30. Wednesday 4th December 2024
