HERTFORD. This is beginning to look like the Hertfordshire thread. WALTHAMSTOW LEYTON These include no end of books about Hertford and its people. The other publications I have are "Waltham Forest since 1940" "Victorian and Edwardian Waltham Forest" "Newport Junior School Centenary" The school I went to in Leyton, London (formally Essex) which includes extracts from the daily log from 1883 'til 1953.

Recently someone started a thread listing names and places they were researching in Hertfordshire. I saw a few people looking for people in my village of St. Ippolyts. I offered my service to look round graveyards etc. but then remembered a book I had on the history of St. Ippolyts and have found many of the names in this book with little stories about the people. Perhaps we should list any local history books we have like this so that people can see if there is anything out there for them that they wouldn't find in public records easily. I am starting this list and hope others will follow with: ST. IPPOLYTS - A country parish in the nineteenth century. Author Daphne Rance
