Hello Amokavid,

Thank you for the info.

I've just had some more info from DetEcTive which Iam going to act on.

Thank you for your quick reply.


Helllo DetEcTive,

Thank you very much for the info, I shall look at the web site for the library and let you know how I get on. Very much obliged by the quick response. I've not done much research lately due to family and am getting back into it again.

Follow through with malyon's links. There may be other ways to find record details.

EDIT - actually the first link doesn't work. The others lead to forums with photographs, all of interest as you have a link to the street
