Starting (once again) to try and find out about the Oakes family. Where do I go to see if someone is already carrying out research into this family (or a branch of this family)?
I also have a few possible geographical areas of interest, Chelmsford, Camberwell, Walthamstow, Hackney, possibly Stoke Newington, the Old Kent Road. Anyone familiar with this 'neck of the woods'?
Cheers, Tony.
