I'm a retired engineering lecturer resident in Bristol, UK. My current research interests are largely in the 19th century. They include: All that leaves me virtually no time for my main musical interest, the life and works of that most underrated of recent composers, Carl Nielsen.
 * The early history of the British General Electric Company.
 * The exploits of the sea captains Samuel Congalton and his nephew William Congalton, and their ships the 'Diana' the 'Hooghly' and the 'Robert Lowe'.
 * The adventures of my great grandfather Henry Taylor in the Americas and the Sandwich Islands in the early 1860s.
 * The Transandine Railway between Chile and Argentina and its designers Juan and Mateo Clark.
 * 19th century British architects with particular reference to Alfred Waterhouse, George Gilbert Scott and the virtually forgotten David Mackintosh.
 * The life of John Lyon and the histories of the schools associated with him: Harrow School and The John Lyon School.
 * W S Lindsay

Help with any of these projects would be greatly appreciated. Robert Cutts, September 2011
