If you email them they are really helpful. They have recently started doing look up but want £30 for the records which seems a bit steep to me. |

I visited the Consignia Heritage Centre (just behind Mount Pleasant Post Office HQ) in London. The staff were amazingly helpful, and I got my ancestor's employment record for the price of the photocopying (nowhere near £30). I seem to remember walking from there to either the London Metropolitan Archive or the Family Records Centre. Definitely worth a visit! Natalie |

Sorry, Dawnie.....have just noticed that you said you can't get to London, so my last message wasn't terribly helpful! Unfortunately, I don't get to London that much myself or I'd do a look-up for you. Perhaps you could see if anyone else on the Boards is heading that way! Best of luck with your search. Natalie |

Oh the staff are absolutely brilliant, the girl who emailed me went way beyond the call of duty. Very impressed. |

Were the town postmen recorded in the Gazette's when they were appointed their role? You may find a record for the person in the London Gazette? Can't remember if I have seen this before. Claire |
