Testimonials

Cleveland, North Yorkshire & South Durham Family History Society:  "We are grateful for the time and effort you took to share your thoughts and experiences with Society members.  Your years of research and your ability to present the subject in such an interesting way produced a most memorable day.  Many members were at a standstill in one or more branches of research and your talk seemed to provide much needed help.  Thanks again, we hope you can join us again in the future."
National Federation of Women's Institutes (Robertsbridge):  "What an interesting afternoon!  We so much enjoyed your talk - and learned a great deal.  You also made us laugh - no one nodded off!  We are delighted that you were our speaker on our very special 97th Birthday.  May you continue to give so much pleasure for years to come.  Very best wishes, and our thanks."
Ash, U3A Network:  "We are all so glad that you enjoyed your time with us, and for giving your fascinating talk. I need to hear it again as I am sure that I didn't take it all in."  
​Family History Study Day The Ash Centre, Ash, Surrey  
Tunbridge Wells Family History Society:  "Thank you so much for coming to see us on Tuesday, we do so enjoy your visits. We were all very interested to hear about 'The Heir Hunters' I myself never realised there was so much involved in tracing relatives, and I was very surprised to learn that sometimes there are so many people involved when in fact it would appear that a person has died with no relatives at all. Your talk was both informative and vey amusing too, I for one, shall now await a 'knock on the door.'  Both Roy and I really hope that we can keep the TWFHS together, we are certainly trying everything we can to do so, and we look forward to seeing you again soon."
Ashford Branch - Kent Family History Society:  "We really enjoyed your talk and there were a great deal of chat after the meeting about how good your talks are.  Over the last few years we have tried to make the Ashford Branch a friendly and interesting place, also to help anyone who has trouble with brick walls etc. Thank you so much for coming all the way to Ashford."

North West Kent History Society.  "Thank you so much for coming to talk to us.   You probably gathered from the applause and the number of questions raised, just how much we enjoyed your talk.  We were most impressed, as usual, with the amount of research and your depth of knowledge.  You certainly put a different slant on the term Baby Farming. I told my husband all about it and he had thought it was somewhere where they ‘farmed’ babies!!!!"

“Lady Mary Teviot gave Bookham U3A Family History Group a wonderful talk on “Under Used Sources” such as Church Wardens Presentations and Accounts, Manorial Records, Coroners’ Reports, Settlement and Removal Orders, Protestation Oaths, Bastardy Bonds, Rogues and Vagabonds Records and Overseers Reports which certainly broadened the research material available to amateur genealogists.”

"Ash U3A Family History Group were pleased to welcome back Lady Teviot for her talk 'Kill or Cure 19th Century Medicine'. The talk incorporated lots of interesting  medical facts on how our ancestors may have been treated or in fact meet their demise. These ranged from infant mortality, infections, operations, cholera, immunisation and much more. A truly fascinating, informative talk, that was well presented, we all totally enjoyed it."
