This information (including the photographs) was prepared when Paul and his family first came to Whitstable in 2001. When one or more members of the family have enough free time to take some up-to-date photos and bring us some more recent news about what’s happening in their lives today, we shall update this page! Until then, please enjoy reading about them when they were new!
 The Rev. Paul Wilson BSc BD MTh, was inducted as our new minister on 23rd June 2001. He worked part-time for a few weeks, getting to know his new “family”, until he moved into the manse in July 2001. So that you may get to know him, and his family, a little better, here is a “taster” of what is in store. (Click on any image for a larger picture.)
 Paul: Born mid-1950s in Carryduff (honestly!) N. Ireland.
Education: Bangor Grammar School; Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh; Baptist College and Queens University, Belfast (has had far too many exams!)
Previous job - Town Planner in Outer Glasgow (good to know if you are planning an extension!)
Other information - Known as “Paddy” at University in Scotland; Fell for Anne as she owned a brilliant Yamaha guitar! Has a reputation for leading hikes and getting lost - although, in fairness, everyone gets home - eventually!
 Anne: Born mid-1950s in Lanark, Scotland (distant relatives of Earls of Douglas).
Education: Wishaw High School, Glasgow;
University: Moray House College of Education, Edinburgh (Guess whom she met while distracted there?)
Previous jobs: Survived (just about) six years teaching languages in a comprehensive school near Glasgow. Since then has taught English as a foreign language and Basic Skills to adults (as well as to her kids!).
Other information: Called by her middle name - her first name is Isobel; has been known to call (in both senses) for ceilidhs; and is presently learning Japanese.
 Annabelle: Born 1990 in Eastbourne (Dad floated out of hospital on Cloud Nine!).
Education: Final year of junior school, about to move to secondary.
Interests: Reading (including Harry Potter), “Art Attack”, learning to play the flute, Guides, swimming, and collecting Beanie Babies.
Other Information: Loves pandas! Has just survived five days at her first school camp - including learning how to fall out of canoes!
 Douglas: Born 1992 in Eastbourne and our lives have never been the same!
Education: At the same very large junior school as his sister.
Interests: Digimon; Wind in the Willows; Beano (Dennis the Menace provides a useful role model!); and swimming.
Other Information: Two middle names - Robert Kirk; “Big Interest” at the moment is “Alice in Wonderland” and “Alice through the Looking Glass” (his prize possession is a Wonderland pop-up book and he has made cardboard figures to act out the Alice Stories) - though all this might be out of date by the time we move!
 Well, we hope you feel you know us a little better now. We are really enjoying living in Whitstable and getting to know more about each other too!
