The first batch of stories from our latest #ForgottenWomenFriday have been published, including mine on Sarah Wildblood from Wem, born just a few days before Queen Victoria. I really enjoyed threading together a comparison and is my want a short poem!

Gave U3A talk on the Rowlings family. From Saltash, but as a member of the Waterguard (forerunner of the Coast Guard/Customs) moved around the coast of Suffolk, Norfolk and Lincolnshire before settling in Grimsby. What an adventure for a 20 year old travelling 350 miles for work in 1820! #coastguard
