Just to share with you,I met up with Jean yesterday at Darlington Local studies and we had a great afternoon,and are going to do it again including Durham. Kate i will pm you re Northallerton.

Nudge for other's to see

Hi, yes me to for Essex - I haven't been before so could do with a hand to hold - so to speak but I do work full time so might look a bit piccy on dates selected!! Gill :))

Kate Did I---remind me about it?? Having many senior moments lately!!!

Will do that Ann - it would be nice to meet you as I know you helped me with cemetery look ups some time ago. Kate

Gosh Jean, Just read above that my suggestion helped you sort the monitor problem. So pleased I could help with something 'technical' - usually haven't got a clue with computers. - Just proves the simple suggestions are often the best x Tee hee, Dea x

Yes girls...I'll go anytime, anyplace, anywhere.....lol Just pm me. Jean

Kate We can go again in October too that would be great,well I can go again in October--just pm me nearer the time and I'm sure Jean would like to come with me,we both live in Darlington.

Thanks Mark, am looking at it now!

Think Sheila's right Kaz. Although Pickards Pink Pages covers ALL Warks inc Brum tho. Quite often Im looking for something somewhere under 'Warwickshire' and Brum will be there.

Yes I agree with Ann and Kate, thanks Snowdrops. Blooming computer monitor went....sorted now thanks to Dea reminding me that it does need electicity.....had a loose wire.....not the first.......lol Jean

Ann - I'm down in Essex but mum is in York so I get up there to see her when I can and could possibly manage a trip to Northallerton when I'm with her . Thanks for your offer Snowdrops and it would be good to meet you Jean as well. If you are all much nearer than me go ahead and sort something, don't wait for me. Have just been up to York so probably won't be up again for an extended visit till October half term. Kate

Snowdrop Thanks will keep that in mind i have been to Northallerton many time but not this year ---yet.

Nudge for future. Might be interested in going to Chelmsford, but not this year, just paid for a very expensive holiday!! Mavis

If you need any web sites for the local archives/record offices i have listed 90+ offices,complete with phone numbers,website url,fax numbers and opening hours on a thread. Thread search for 'The A-Z',there are 3 threads 1 scanned or handwritten certs from register offices 2 address details for the register offices 3 The Records/Archives offices,with address etc Sometimes it's easier to find than trying to google. Glen

Ann, Kate and Jean, I go to Northallerton quite regularly and I'd be happy to meet up with you all and show you the ropes if you don't already know them (you may even get to meet my little pixie who lives on the boards too). Northallerton's a lovely little office and they're very friendly and helpful (just don't pinch my seat!!) Just give me a shout and see what we can all come up with. Snowdrops

Sure Rebekah, Anyone want to meet at the Essex Records Office in Chelmsford????? Its a very nice and comfortable place and very helpful staff. Kathlyn

Just happened to look at the Coventry family History Society site and there is a link to the new Warwick Record Office catalogue. There are some very useful things there! http://archivesunlocked.warwickshire.gov.uk/DServe.exe?dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Index.tcl

Ann anytime you want to go to the Middlesbrough one just let me know ;; Hubby hates going with me ;; I could spend more time there then;; Babs Ps or if anyone else wants to go , would be happy to go there with them;;

Hi Rebekah I would be interested in going because have never been to one yet but need to ask a question! Am mainly interested in Birmingham area and know it came under Warwicks at the time I'm interested, would the records be at warwick or Birmingham?? Otherwise have only one look up lol Sorry to be a pest! Kaz :o)
