    How To Print Forum Threads

    I generally use Firefox as my web browser & trying to print from it only lets me print the first page of a thread. If I use Internet Explorer, all pages print as required, so it suggests it's a Firefox issue. The operating system on my laptop is Windows 7, rather than later versions of Windows...

    How To Print Forum Threads

    Hi Radiorails. Thanks for your reply. The forum thread I'm trying to print is a thread which I started. As the Forum Rules state that I own the copyright to my messages, surely printing a thread which I started isn't an infringement? Other genealogy forums enable printing of threads. I want...

    James Robert Srawley & Louisa Elizabeth Srawley (nee Yarnall) of B'ham & Warwickshire

    Hope I've posted this in the correct place! I am trying to find where James Robert Srawley, his wife Louisa Elizabeth Srawley (nee Yarnall) & their family were living after 1939. Up until 1939, the Electoral Registers have them living at 47 Kenelm Road, Small Heath but the Registration...

    I'm trying to trace Hannah's Greetings Card Wholesalers of Lozells, who I understand had premises off Lozells Road, maybe in the vicinity of Burbury Street. My mother worked there in the early 1950's, until 1955. If anyone can tell me the address of their premises & any other information about...

    William Henry Gardner Born About 1892 - WW1 South Staffordshire Regiment

    Thanks for your reply subotone.

    William Henry Gardner Born About 1892 - WW1 South Staffordshire Regiment

    Barrie, Thanks for that. I have a few queries if you could help please: * As these two William Henry Gardner's appear in the Absent Voters List, does this mean that, in 1918, the addresses stated are their normal home addresses & that they were temporarily away from those addresses in the...

    Sadkie Family

    Mike, Thanks for that, very interesting. The 1891 & 1911 censuses indicate that the family trade was that of tailors so that would fit in with Benjamin at County Chambers, Corporation Street. Presumably the shop at 85 Holloway Head sold clothing. Do you know if County Chambers in...
