Biography

Steven Whitfield has completed the England Project's Post 1700 Orphan Trail I.

Steven Whitfield has completed the England Project's Pre-1700 Orphan Trail II.

I was born in Warrington, Lancashire, went to school in Manchester, studied law in Birmingham and Chester and went on to qualify as a solicitor in Warrington.

After a few months in practice, I decided that another 40 years of conveyancing, divorces and litigation weren't what I wanted out of life and I left my job to work for Eurocamp, a tour operator, on a campsite in France. I ended up working for Eurocamp in various roles for the next 30 years until we were taken over; and I retired.

One of the hobbies I took up on finishing work was researching our family history, which I have found fascinating. Wikitree's Orphan Trail introduced me to a range of resources that I never knew existed and disciplines that will help me to record my findings for cousins and future generations. Thanks to Wikitree's collaborative approach, I am able to carry on developing my knowledge and pass on some of my experience to others.
