I'm trying to find information on a Charles Banyard, a photographer in East Dereham who may have been one of my ancestor's employers. The site however sends you to the file containing my family names and it seems that you can only put a message in 'Trying to find' for someone you have in your own names.

Thank you, I managed it by creating a brother. I always wanted a brother.

Click on 'Trying to Find' tab and then enter the surname you are looking for, and click on the 'Search button'. Then you will see that there is a tab at the top called 'Find Smith's' (where Smith is the surname you are looking for). Click on that tab and you will see something like this: Welcome to the Smith Trying To Find Message Board If you wish to add to our Trying To Find Board then click here. Click where it says 'click here' and finally you will get a box to type your posting in! Kate.

Thanks for this thread. Just followed directions to try it out and on doing so found something that could possibly lead to a link... Are you a REAL Muswell Hill Billy. My mum used to talk a lot about Muswell Hill. Rosemary.
