Hello, Just been reading your story, absolutely fascinating. Amazon is a very good site and is secure, I've ordered books and things from them with no problems, but if you're concerned about putting details on the 'net, go for a cheque. Helen |

Helen Thanks for that, for the time being I still have the book and have to take it back to the library next week but I think I have renewed it 4 times now and until someone wants the book I can keep renewing it. So I still have a bit of time with my favourite book of all time. But yes, I feel safer with a cheque so that is what I am going to do. Thanks Debbie |

Hi Debbie Are you aware of Bitterne Local History Society? They are very active and have a shop locally. I'm sure they would be able to help you if you haven't already tried. Not sure where you are in hants, but if you're not in the Bitterne area, I am and could find out contact details for you. All the best Kim |

Hi Kim Yes, I am in Hampshire in Eastleigh, I do know about the Bitterne History society. But I am the sort of person that is a worried about meeting new people and get a bit tongue tied. And soon I will venture out to Bitterne only up the road a few miles. I just get really panicky. I am actualy going out tomorrow to a cemetry which I havnt done before but taking my Mum. And hopefuly go onto the St Marys cemetry in Southampton. See thats my trouble I dont go to Southampton I get really nervous. Thats why I am taking my Mummy. I sound a real baby. Thanks for your advise I will get there one day. Where do you come from? Debbie |

Hi Debbie I'm from Hythe, living in Bitterne Park, but my parents moved down here from the Midlands so none of my family history is local. Bitterne local history society have a website at www.bitterne.net, you could try that. Good luck with your cemetery visit. Love Kim |

Hi Kim I have seen that website, I keep going back to have another look. I went to the cemetry on Saturday with my Mum. And we must have looked at every Gravestone but not one name rang any bells. So it's a trip to St Marys I think. Most of my family came from Bitterne so I think that is the cemetry where a lot of them are buried. Went to the Stoneham Lane church on Saturday but I think it was too far from bitterne really. Thanks Debbie |
