| 14 October | This evening's talk is different to the one originally advertised. It will be about Family Search sessions in Kettering | Katrina Friess |
| 11 November | What happened to Lucy? Before 1927 and legal adoption what happened to the unwanted child? Even after 1927 children were exploited, although supposedly cared for by institutions and well caring organisations.
