My uncle Ben Howard, my mothers' elder brother, kept meticulous records of his family history which I have used extensively along with the kind help of my cousins whilst writing this book.

I also thought it important to include the family history of my maternal grandmother, one of the loveliest people I have ever known, who never let her pain and discomfort stop her smile and who was devoted to my grandfather, the man she called 'Dodger.' This book covers a little history of the Howards and Haymes, two families with their own stories that were joined together when when my maternal grandfather Benjamin met my grandmother Lilian, a result of events that follow the path of English history to arrive at an ordinary council house in south London from as far away as Somerset, Hampshire, Warwickshire,

Essex and Yorkshire. This is a little insight into English cultural and social history over eight generations. It covers life in peaceful Seventeen Century rural Norfolk and Essex, to the brutality and squalor of Nineteenth Century Whitechapel Deptford and Bermondsey, before ending in one of the new council estates built to ease the housing crisis in a post-war London.

Andrew is a retired International Operations Manager, who now lives West Devon. In 2023 he researched his family history and self-published a book 'The Tidmarsh Family Tree' ISBN 978-1-80381-761-3 telling the story of his paternal family over twelve generations and the wartime adventures of his grandfather, his personal hero. This is his second book and he is currently researching his third book about the Silk Road, in the footsteps of another of his heroes, Fitzroy Maclean, which involved a journey through the cities of the ancient Sogdians, the original silk road traders. He is also working on books based on his travels to Moscow, Kiev and Almaty and to the ancient cities of Beirut, Cairo, Damascus and Jerusalem, as well as books highlighting his photography around Dartmoor.
