Australian visitor Joan Byrne travelled to Windsor to photograph a building designed by her great-grandfather, architect Patrick James Byrne, but discovered far more through the Berkshire Family History Society. With member Mike Bailey's assistance, she explored the lives of two ancestors: Patrick James Byrne, a distinguished Victorian architect who designed buildings including St Edward's Presbytery and the Royal Tapestry Works, and the Honourable Captain Samuel Scoltock, a Military Knight of Windsor. Joan's research journey took her into the archives of St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, where she viewed attendance registers documenting Captain Scoltock's service as guardian of the Chapel. She toured the Military Knights' quarters where her ancestors lived and traced Patrick Byrne's professional career through local newspaper archives, revealing his work on public sanitation and housing for the poor. The visit brought to life the stories of her Victorian-era ancestors and their significant contributions to Windsor's architectural and military heritage.
