Look ups on offer by Mike-- For National Archives @ Kew

Post by mike74 »

Morning,

This maybe the wrong board to post this on, so apologies if it is. Thought about putting it on the lookup offers board, but that seemed to be if you had hard copies or cd's of records. Anyway, I'm going to the National Archives at Kew and the LDS Family History Center in South Kensington next week to have alook at a few records that are of interest to me. If anybody wants me to lookup some records for your research I'm more than willing to do it. I'm thinking about going Thurs/Fri as I think they are open till 9.

All the best
Mike :-)

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

We will make this a sticky and will alter heading if that is ok

Think this is all that might be available for me as according to the National Archives Website, they dont hold a lot of records I am looking for:

Piece reference MH 12/11626 - West Bromwich 430 - Poor Law Union
- For Reference of any Halls

Albert Gowler Suffolk Regiment (12th Foot) 4th Battalion from Chatteris Cambs
Reference WO96/248 (Althogh Im not sure what this relates to!
Where did he live?
Who were his next of kin etc?
Is his name actually Albert!

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Snoopysue,

At least it will give me a good excuse to do more researching of my own whilst I'm there. Plus, they are only about 20mins from my house so not to far to travel.

Hi Northernlass,

That would be much more helpful, but if you don't have that just send me what you have and I'll do my best to find it for you.

Cheers

Evening Andrew,
I have made a note of these and I will check them out for you. I will be going to Kew and Family history center next week, not sure which day yet as I have other commitments but it will be either Mon/Tues or Friday. I will let you know when I'm going.


All the best
Mike

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
