Richmond Meeting

This gathering, of considerable significance to Kellaway and Callaway genealogists and family historians, took place at the Pitcher and Piano pub in Richmond. The three genealogists from the Callaway Family Association, Cary, Pat and Sherrill, were researching in England, at the nearby Public Record Office in Kew. Warwick and Di Kellaway were travelling in England at the time, and so was Bill Callaway (Bulletin Bill). The opportunity for a rendezvous was too good to miss. Brian Willoughby travelled from Cheltenham to be there, and locals, Peter and Kris, and Bill Piper (all Australians resident in England), agreed the venue. Many of us had never met before, except by e-mail. The meeting let us compare notes and marvel at the wealth of material that already exists; it also laid the foundation for continued co-operation in research.
