WOLVERLEY AND COOKLEY HISTORY SOCIETY – At the members meeting on September 8, Janet Morgan gave a presentation called ’one thing leads to another’, the story of a Wolverley girl who married a Kidderminster weaver and emigrated to the USA at the end of the 19th century.

Details had been traced of their respective families, their sailings to America, the town where they settled and from the US census, their family in America. All this had started with the chance finding of a death and then a memoriam notice in the Kidderminster Shuttle of 1916 and 1917. The remainder of the meeting was spent discussing family history and members’ requirement for tuition and help with research.
