BM001 Paul Magnall

Me!

My name is Paul Magnall and I have been researching the Magnall and Mangnall family history since 1996. As you can see from the above photos I was a beautiful child and very musical with it! (If you want to know what I was really like you had better ask my mother!)

I was born on 29th January 1960 in Sheffield. My father, Peter Magnall, was in the RAF but when he left we moved to Aston Clinton in Bucks. I went to Aston Clinton Primary School and then to Aylesbury Grammar School. After taking (and passing!) A-levels in Maths, Chemistry and Physics I went to work for a year at Marconi Space and Defence Systems in Stanmore where my father worked. I then went to Leeds University to study Chemical Sciences. I met Catherine at University and we were married in 1983 after we completed our degrees. I then spent a year studying to teach and then taught for 12 years at Mirfield High School. At the end of 1995 I left teaching to join a small company supplying ICT equipment and training to schools. When my boss decided to wind the company up and move on to other things I joined Datacable Ltd to develop a section doing the same sort of thing, supplying ICT equipment and training to schools. And that is what I still do!

More information about myself will eventually end up here but at present I am concentrating on finding out more about my ancestors.
