Tracing LGBT+ Figures in Family History Records - Dorothy & Patricia | Findmypast
Channel: Findmypast
Date: 2022-06-07

Every story is worth telling, even the ones which are sometimes trickier to research.

For many reasons, researching LGBT+ ancestors can be difficult. It's important not to assume, not to generalise, and to recognise that LGBT+ people have always existed. So, we decided to show you how you can trace an LGBT relationship in our family history records.

We start with Dorothy Hepworth and Patricia Preece, who lived together for over 30 years.
