About Me

My photo
William Battersby
This profile covers my research into the Franklin Expedition of 1845-1848 and specifically my book, 'James Fitzjames: the Mystery Man of the Franklin Expedition'. I'm a British national living and working in London. I studied Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University of London (now part of University College, London) and graduated with First Class Honours. I am a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. I work in finance and over the last few years have carried out a great deal of original research into several aspects of the Franklin Expedition. I'm married and we live in an 18th century town house in a garden square in Kennington, south London. We have three children and three cats. I'm also very interested in music and am a private pilot, flying a high performance Super Dimona motor-glider. I'm convinced that multi-disciplinary research which combines archaeology, a proper understanding of Inuit family memories and archival research can yield a far better understanding of the Franklin tragedy.
