My name is Steve Sankey. I am married to Sue and have three children, Peter, Hannah and Rebecca. We are thrilled to announce the safe arrival of our new grandaughter Jessica Louise. You can see some pictures of her here.

I am a Methodist minister and Sue is a teacher. I was appointed as a full-time chaplain at the George Eliot Hospital in July. You can visit the chaplaincy department of the hospital website here. 

You can click here to see my family tree going back to my great, great Grandfather. In 1990 my mum started to write down her memories. In her writing she got as far as 1948 but had to stop when she broke her hip and then had shingles which left her confused. In 1993 she did start writing again and added some more recent memories, but did not go back to where she left off. Her thoughts are rather random after this point. I have now completed writing up all she wrote along with my own chapter headings so you can easily navigate around the document. It is a fascinating insight into life as she experienced it.

I am interested in learning more about different branches of my family. Are you linked through, Berry, Kirkman, Roper, Gregory, Holl, Woodburn or any other name that links in with my family tree either on the Sankey or Roper side? If you think you might be related to me in some way do get in touch through the 'contact Steve' link.
