This book documents the history of the Lindsey family over nearly three centuries from the 1700s to the late 1900s. David Lindsey has drawn on a wide range of source materials including the diary of his great-great-great grandfather Samuel Watson written in 1852, the diary of Samuel's grandaughter Sarah Lindsey written between 1874-1911 and that of her son Charlie. It is also informed by a large amount of personal research. The Lindseys established and grew a truss and surgical appliance business in London, Brighton, Portsmouth and across the South East of England. They were involved in the church and in politics, becoming members of prestigious societies and establishing the Royal Surgical Aid Society. Lindsey Street in EC1 in the City of London was named after Mark John Lindsey who died in 1906. Many other families' stories are woven through the book including family trees for the Brackett, Harman, Fenwick, Starling, Tressider and Watson families.
