Thought this was worth another nudge...

Can visit the Nelson Library (Lancashire) they are really good also, lots of church records, local census and they also have I think records of work house etc. I visit about twice per week - interested? Let me Know

I can try Ross on Wye Herefordshire Library. Any good???

Don't suppose anyone is visiting the Maldon Essex library are they? Brenda x

Can visit Folkestone library,which has some local parish records for Folkestone, Hythe and some Romney Marsh villages and also census for Folkestone, - not sure about surrounding area for census though.

Can visit Uxbridge Library which holds the census (cant remember what years but will update once I find out) IGI on micro fiche (All British Isles), records covers all Middlesex (not sure if ex Middlesex came with it) Local Newspapers etc. T

Nudge...

Cant do look ups as I'm in Australia, but need help, if anyone can look up Elizabeth Nichols born St Martins, Middx [believe its Strand/Westminster area] 1854/6, need parents, believe father may have been William Henry Nichols. Also Elizabeth Tucker marriage to John Broom in 1820 need her status whether widow or spinster, or help in the same query through daughter's christening in 1815 at Clyst Honiton name is Sophia Tucker. Many thanks. Regards Christina

I can do look-ups in Epsom & Ewell Library Naomi

Thought I would give this another nudge..

Libraries sometimes contain copies of parish registers (Norwich does) Probably more reliable than trampling amonst the stinging nettles looking for gravestones you can't read. I have offered to do this for someone requesting a visit to a churchyard and hope I will find her more info that way. alice

sorry Benjamin , didn't see your reply til I had posted mine. I tink Norwich Library is as good as Norfolk record office for census and Parish records and also much more convenient for me! Alice

Brenda, and any other interested people. The Maldon Library does not hold any useful info. It is all at the Essex Record Office in Chelmsford.

I have had so much help from others I am willing to do my bit and am able to visit Stevenage Library in Hertfordshire if any one wants information. Maria.

Thought I would nudge this one..

Hello, I visit Bolton library on a regular basis - they have lots of local info including workhouse records, MIs, BMDs etc. I also have a library card for Manchester Central Library and have just joined Manchester Family History Society (they seem to have loads of local info judging by their website). This is slightly trickier due to time constraints. I would be pleased to help anyone. Please PM me. Best wishes Maria

Hi

Can anyone possibly do a look up for me at the Chelmsford Library. I am hoping to find some information on my great grandfathers death, I have his death cert but am hoping that other family members might be mentioned because as yet the info I have on this family is next to nothing. lol.

His name is Charles Frederick Sims he died in 1966 (08/11/1966), death cert district is registered Thurrock, Thames, County of Essex.
His address on the cert is 13 Giffords Cross Road, Stanford le Hope, Corringham, Essex.

I am unable to get to this library and have emailed them for a look up but the email was never replied to.

I can do a look up at Bury St Edmunds library, not sure what records they hold there as I have never been in there (its not my local), but the records office in Bury is very good, they have a surname index and have managed to find a few interesting bits.


Thanks
Tracie.
