Fortnum, Angela: - Angela Fortnum was born in Banbury, Oxfordshire, and she attended school in the town before fulfilling her desire to work in a bank. She began working at National Provincial Bank in 1965, which is now a part of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, and in 1982 she took a permanent position in Birmingham and moved to Shirley near Solihull in the West Midlands. Following early retirement in 1998, she returned to Banbury and took a course in health and social care, for which she received a certificate. After her mother's death, Angela rekindled her interest in genealogy and now shares a tribute to her mother in Pages and Leaflets of North Oxfordshire.
