#onthisday Coincidence! Researching my family tree for talks I'm giving on Saga's Riddle of the Sands cruise in July, and realise HEC Childers (1827-1896) and Erskine Childers (1870-1922) share the same birthday: 25th June. @sagaholidays @peeltalent #theriddleofthesands

Very excited to be guest speaker on board Saga's Riddle of the Sands cruise in July! A departure from my talks on maritime heroes in the Age of Sail, to focus on my Childers ancestors. @cruisesaga @peeltalent @MMaritimers
