Those of you, who like me, have regularly visited the History Centre at Cocklebury Road, Chippenham, during the last ten years, researching the archives in the Wiltshire And Swindon Record Office, will have been ably served on several occasions by one of the knowledgeable and helpful staff there, Robert Pearson.
Sadly, Robert passed away, on 23rd December 2013, aged 59, after succumbing to cancer. Donations in his memory are to be made to Shaftesbury Hospital or to a cancer charity. Robert will have a woodland burial in Dorset later this month.
“Robert was a kind, generous and exceptionally positive person who bore his illness with enormous courage and good humour. He will be very much missed.” ~ Claire Skinner has written a tribute to Robert on the Wiltshire And Swindon History Centre website, click here.Â
