OK - Old bloke, old cardie, looks like Merlin....Jackpot (sound's like my dad - can't be!) Young bloke, thick as brown stuff - give him a swerve.... Got that, thanks.

Jeanne I couldn't even begin to think that i am worthy of advising you,just bookmarking for future reference,this sounds like it could be extremely useful. Glen

I've been to Bancroft Library (if I'm thinking of the right one) and they have a very good name index for their documents BUT - when I found a hit I asked to see the documents and the guy returned with completely the wrong thing. He then told me what I wanted didn't exist. I persevered and eventually the older guy there went off down a set of stairs and came backup producing the most marvellous set of copies from a court case with two of my rellies in dispute over some inherited property. It was golddust. erm - so my tip is - don't believe anyone who tells you anything unless he wears a bobbled old cardie and looks like Merlin without the beard Z xx p.s. have fun

Good evening everyone. I'm going to the Bancroft Road Library in Stepney tomorrow morning to check out some records I pray are there..... Only place I have done some hands on research is at the FRC in Islington, and that was pretty straight forward. I have made a plan (Captain Manwaring)...... I have checked by email with the library that they allow photo images of the records, and that is fine. I have set up a template to also record what I find (everything is crossed at this end!!). Advice on what else I should arm myself with......... The one who calls himself Mr is taking me and so I want to be as prepared as I can (looking like I know what I'm doing would help!!) Bring it on - I need your 'condensed' experience. Cheers, Jeanne

Just hold the line caller.....
