I offer a range of services relating to family trees and family research, and keep to the traditional way of producing family trees - pen and ink.

After many years of researching family trees, I continue to remain passionate about all my research requests - however small. Tracing one's ancestors can be a fascinating personal journey, and I aim to give as much passion and commitment to a customer's family tree as if it were my own.

Whether you have already spent time researching your family tree yourself and reached a sticking point, and need a nudge in the right direction, or whether you would like an entire tree produced from scratch; I am happy to take on the job.

Our ancestors are more than just names from the past; their actions and decisions have determined where we are today, and indeed the very fact we are here at all. The upheaval and hardship faced by many of our ancestors deserves acknowledgement, and family trees help to keep their memory alive.

Thomas Madden (my great great grandfather) came over to England from Cork in Ireland with this parents when he was a small boy. He grew up in the east end of London and became a tailor, like his father. In the 1870s he moved to Brighton, where he met Ann Carpenter, who was working as a domestic servant in the town.
They married in 1875, and had six children.
