Welcome to Nick Hildick-Smiths' web site. I hope you enjoy your visit to what is my first attempt at putting some personal stuff out there in cyberland

It is with deep personal regret that I have to announce the death of our dear Mum Shirley who sadly passed away on 1st June 2009 after a short illness.

 

It came as a shock to all of us as she had settled well in Cornwall and had just started a long awaited Meditteranean cruise when she was taken ill. She passed away at Barnstaple Hospital very peacefully in the end. However, the cause of death will be the subject of an Inquest as it seems as a result of a rarte side effect of the long term taking of a drug which was supposed to be an antibiotic to ease her kidney problems.

The above image is taken from the Order of Service pamphlet we had printed to celebrate her life at Chaddesley Church, following a short family cremation service at Worcester.

At a later date I will go into more detail about the exact circumstances but I will leave it there for the time being

 

The site will be primarily a genealogy site and contain  much family information, which will include pictures, a family history document and names lists and trees of past family members. The pictures will primarily be family orientated but will also contain snaps of house, garden, friends, and holidays.

Now I am retired I have been filling some spare time with research into the family history which has been done mostly on-line and has many gaps still to be filled.  The family history pages will contain much of the work I have so far done on the history of the Hildick-Smith family and will eventually include family trees, vintage photographs and much text concerning the research I am currently undertaking.

The contacts page has details of how to reach us and links to all sorts of other interesting and useful sites. I would love to hear from anybody who has any comments or can perhaps add to the family details, and in return I will be only too happy to share the wealth of detail I have already unearthed.

This link is to a Site which lists names of other genealogical sites. Please use it if you can.
