Does anybody have a book called "Jubilee Swansea II" - subtitle - "The town and it's people in the 1890's" - author Gerald Gabb? I am interested in the Parfrey name which apparently is mentioned on page 120. Please contact with any information. Jackie

As some of my family came from Stopsley, I have a book called "The Stopsley Book" by James Dyer. It includes a lot about the history of the village and includes a list of villagers who died in the world wars aswell as Stopsley wills and hundreds of photographs. It also has lots of details about people in my family tree. Lucia

I thought it may be useful if we listed any local history books in our area that may be of use to others.
