Hi John, thanks for your prompt and really helpful reply. I didn't realise it was that simple! My brother is researching where our grandad lodged whilst he was playing for the Villa in the 1920s and the dates he and my grandmother had pubs and the chip shop on Queslett Road in the 1940s so he...

Have tried on library website with no luck and calls not answered at weekend... Can you still view Kelly's directories without a readers card or do you have to book an appointment to view and order them now? Was going to go today but thought should check. Thanks.

I used to go to see King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys there who were regulars. Also, Carole used to run The Works restaurant next door or next door but one to the Adam and Eve. Had some great evenings there too.

Hello, can you help please? I have 2 death cards that state New Cemetery as the place of burial. This was 1902, so which was New Cemetery then? Thanks.

I am trying to make the link between my family (Sant) and the Lippitt family. My mum remembers visiting the Lippitts - Ellen - and we have a photo which we think is them. It's really frustrating as we think Mrs Lippitt was an aunt but I've tried every possible avenue of finding a Sant married...
