Sam has put a link on the records office board - it's brilliant and free.

Luelli...... Try copying and pasting it in, rather than typing it out...........for some unknown reason that sometimes works better.

It's a wonderful site......I've been going on for a look since I saw this yesterday.

Apparently my G.G.Grandfather was involved in a court case about copying a "seedy" letter he found that was written by a vicar to his wife ( the vicars wife that is )........I'm intrigued.........lol
I would have never known a thing about it if I hadn't gone searching the site.

Thank you SO much for this tip : )

Well worth a visit. Had to smile at an ad in a newspaper date 1800. It read - 'Wanted immediately, an Apprentice to a Surgeon and Apothecary'.
