Another example of the power of googling for info! Good luck - yes very sure that Val must be related.

Oh! you are all so clever! - just phoned local library who were v helpful - but Heather your info is brilliant. Val Ibbott is certain to be related to me , will write to her (him) now. Thank you all so much.

You could try abebooks (on line) - they have second books all over the world. You may find the Peterborough FHS could help.

Hey, this is interesting - it appears to give Val Ibbott's address - I bet she has a copy! This is from the Aus Library records: 000 00587nam a2200205 a 450 001 2908572 008 980417s1996 vraac 00000 eng d 019 1_ |a 12484285 020 __ |a 0646290169 035 __ |9 abn98117321 035 __ |9 2432500 037 __ |b Val Ibbott, Cottage 4, 12 Kerford St, Tatura VIC 3616 040 __ |a ANL |c ANL 082 0_ |a 920.71 |2 21 100 1_ |a Ibbott, Val. 245 14 |a The boy from Peterborough / |c Val Ibbott. 260 __ |a [Tatura, Vic.] : |b V.

If you only want to read it and not own it try your local library. Take as much information about the book as you can including ISBN if possible and they may be able get hold of copy from the British Library for you or failing that from the Australian library you mentioned. I work for my local library and we have on occasion received books for people from al over the world. There would of course probably be a charge! Good Luck, Sue

I have just discovered there is a book written about my g uncle Wilfred Whitsey Ibbott by Val Ibbott. Its called a Boy from Peterborough - only trouble is it was published in 1996 in Australia. E-mailed National Library in Canberra where they have a copy - no reply as yet. Anyone got any ideas please!
