About 45 mins away from Preston Record Office which I visited not long ago. Very nice. Unfortunately somebody moved Oldham out of Lancashire records area so I have to go to Oldham to get the ones I originally wanted! lol! Abigail

Glad to find that you seem to think it's a good idea and that so many of you are willing to do favours. I haven't had time to log on since I put the message on the board and now find that there is a Records Office board - will have to wait til the weekend before I can have a look though. All the best - Vanda

Lincolnshire I got to the library in Lincoln every so often where they hold all the censuses for the area. Id quite happily do lookups there but work and my son mean i cant go everyweek so it may take a few weeks. Can also do lookups in the Waddington graveyards if anyone needs them. This is such a good idea.... Demelza

I go to Miidlesborough Archives, Northallerton records office, and Durham records office but not every week and would need things written concisely as my little brain becomes confused. Also Darlington local studies, but can i say as Christmas is looming I will be cutting my visits down. Regards Ann, Darlington

I am limited with work commitments but I use the following Barnsley Library Sheffield Archives East Yorkshire Archives at Beverley Doncaster Archives and Family History Society Also will be starting to use Wakefield West Yorkshire Archives Not a lot of use to anyone wanting urgent look ups but will help where I can. I also have the 1881 cenus on CD's and the 1851 and 1861 East Yorkshire census on CD's.

Hi I haven't been to a Record Office yet but intend to give it a go soon, so when I find out what I am supposed to be doing I will be happy to help anyone with Gloucester. Updated April 2005 Still not managed to get to Glos Records office, it is not in the town centre and I don't go in by car. however if and when i do I will put it on this board. I can get to the local studies parrt of the library though which holds quite a lot of FH information. Ann Glos
