Hi My name is Diane and I have lived in various parts of Essex for all my life. I'm 43, soon to be 44!! Have been married for 24 years and have three children. Two girls 21 and 17 and a 10 year old son. 17 year old has special needs so life is challenging shall we say. Started family research 4 years ago and am thoroughly hooked. Haven't worked really since I had the children, hoping to get back again next year before my brain finally turns to mush. Cheers Diane

I'm Maz and I'm from the East End!!!! Well, my real name is Marion - don't much like it - and I live in Walthamstow. Born and bred in east London. Married to Andy for 9 years. Kids are Charlotte age 8 going on 48 and Jamie age 6. Charlotte is very clever and hardworking and loves school. So does Jamie, but he has got special needs (autistic spectrum) so life can be frustrating for him. I work part-time in a library - my dream job - and the rest of the time I am either reading or on here! Me and my 83 year old mum like to visit churches and villages in our family's history. Maz. XX
