Born illegitimately to a farmer’s daughter in 1877\, Jessie was adopted by a childless housekeeper. For thirty five years she lived a quiet life in domestic service in late Victorian and Edwardian Cambridge until emigrating to British Columbia in 1912. She was one of thousands of young women deemed surplus to British society who enrolled on emigration schemes to distant parts of the Empire. She lived fifty eight years in her new country\, mainly in a small cabin in a rural township. \nFiona will describe how she went about her research\, using photographs and memorabilia as well as archives in Cambridge\, London and Vancouver. Along the way\, she will give some tips for those interested in exploring their own family history. \nAbout the speaker:\nFiona Chesterton had a long career in Television journalism\, production and commissioning working mainly for the BBC and Channel Four. In the past few years\, she has pursued her interest in family history and non-fiction writing. \nShe published her first book Secrets Never To Be Told late in 2021. She was interviewed about the book by BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour programme and several local radio stations. \nShe has lived in Cambridge for nearly ten years and is a member of the Cambridgeshire Family History Society\, the Mill Road History Society and the Society of Authors. She is also a Fellow of the Royal Television Society. \nShe is now working on her second book\, a memoir of her early career at the BBC\, which is due to be published later in 2025. \nYou can find out more about Fiona here: www.fionachesterton.com \n\nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge\nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge.

Following a career in teaching (with young offenders\, adult with disabilities etc) Nigel today runs Cambridge Sports Tours\, majoring on the book he recently published ‘Cambridge Sport: in Fenner’s hands’. \nYou can purchase ‘Cambridge Sport: in Fenner’s hands’ at the Museum shop.
