We are pleased to announce that our Annual Day Conference and AGM will be held at the Carrs Lane Conference Centre, Carrs Lane, Birmingham, B4 7SX on Saturday October 3rd 2015. This is a new venue for us and we hope it will be a convenient location for all as it is close to bus, rail services, and car parks. We look forward to welcoming friends old and new.

The two main speakers this year are:

  • Ruth Barbour of Warwick University on ‘The Middling Sort of Catholic in eighteenth century Warwickshire’.
  • Tony Hadland of the Oxfordshire Local History Society on ‘Recusants of Oxfordshire and Berkshire’

A Family History Help Desk will be available at lunch-time and late afternoon. Please use this to ask any questions of our researchers to help your investigations and bring along any documents and materials that you would like to discuss.

The cost is £15.00, it is subsidised by the CFHS and includes a sandwich lunch, and tea/coffee and cold drinks.

Tickets are available by post from:

Mrs J M Smith
