Linda that sound's like something I would do, the strange thing is if I had this interest when I was at school I might have passed my History exam. LOL. Georgina.

That reminds me that when we moved into a house we lived in some time ago, there were loads of old newspapers in the loft, which my son claimed and has since taken to USA where he now lives. Unfortunately for my research a lot were local to Stroud, Glos and the others were The Times and I'm not sure my relatives in the late 1800s read The Times, so wouldn't put births, marriages and deaths in there.

Hi Linda NO, I don't think you are sad at all!! I reckon it's a really kind thing to be doing. Wouldn't it be GREAT if there is someone on here who you can help. Regards Ann
