SPEAKER

Naomi Johnson BSc, MSc, is the Archivist at the archives of the Archdiocese of Birmingham and Museum Curator at St Mary’s College, Oscott, Sutton Coldfield. 

SUMMARY 

Naomi has begun researching the families of young men who attended the school at Oscott College from the 1790’s until 1889, and who are commemorated in armorial windows there. To do this she has used various resources including those of the College, The Newspaper Archives, and Military Records. The talk will explain a little of the history of the windows and tell the stories of some of those whose stories have been uncovered.
