Essex Archaeological Society: Members, 1907/08 (1)

This week's Forum asks whether readers are related to people listed below who were members of the Essex  Society for Archaeology and History in 1907/08.  The organisation has changed much since then, so it is interesting to see those who were 'elected', the 'rules' they abided by, and their annual subscription - which was not cheap!
