Who This Service Is For?
You don’t need experience, records, or subscriptions.
This service is ideal if you:
- Only know parents’ or grandparents’ names
- Have unexplained gaps, missing fathers, or illegitimacy
- Want answers without spending years researching yourself
- Feel unsure where to begin or what’s possible
- Know, absolutely nothing

If you recognise yourself here, you’re in the right place.
What I Research
Every project is tailored. No two families are the same.
Research may include:
- Birth, marriage, and death records
- Census returns
- Parish registers
- Workhouse and poor law records
- Prison and criminal records
- Military records
- Probate and wills
- Irish civil and church records (where available)
Research is always handled with care and discretion.

✔ A professionally researched family tree
✔ A clear, written family history
✔ A well presented PDF report
✔ Source citations for key findings
✔ Honest answers, even when the truth is complicated
Delivery timeframe: typically 4–6 weeks
Family Secrets & Difficult Discoveries
Genealogy isn’t always tidy.
Illegitimacy, abandonment, crime, workhouses, and hidden relationships are common, especially in UK and Irish records.
There is no judgment here.
Your story will be handled sensitively, honestly, and with respect for everyone involved.
Photo Restoration.
Alongside documentary research, I also restore damaged or faded family photographs. This ensures portraits, certificates, and heirlooms can be safely preserved and used in reports or framed family trees. Restoration is always handled carefully, and AI is only used where absolutely necessary.

Have a specific question or problem to solve?

- Tracing adoption or unknown parentage
- Focusing on one individual or event
- Looking for local Nottinghamshire or Irish record expertise
Every custom project begins with a friendly conversation so I can understand what you’re hoping to discover and explain what’s realistically possible.
