I hesitate to use the word 'expert', but I do have in my house various atlases, dictionaries and history books, including a fair bit on London. I know a bit about London suburbs in the north (Stoke Newington), west (Hillingdon) and south (Croydon) as well as Richmond, Surrey. If I can help, I will. Prefer requests on the boards because others who are more expert can help and also the info may be of use to other people, but e-mail is OK if it is a sensitive issue. I've also been to Family Records Centre, National Archives Kew, Richmond local history centre, Buckinghamshire studies centre and Cambridge records office so know a bit about them. nell

I think this is a great idea! I'm not an expert on Ancestry or anything, but i do know a lot about Ashford Kent and surrounding villages etc ie; pubs (old & new) schools, place names etc. Also my Nan, Knows allsorts about Gravesend & Northfleet, where she came from, and has loads of history books on the subject. Mail is probably best. All the best, Gaynor.

I'll try to help with Folkestone/Hythe area of Kent. I wasn't born here but will help with library lookups and parish registers held locally, and general local information.

I know what you mean Anne! I am an expert on asking people for advice.

Hi All Had to go to work but back now - can we try and keep this on or near the top of the board as this will catch the eye of people that have been out all day and maybe would like to add to it. Peter I wish I was an expert on where I live but have only been in North Yorks a short time maybe could help with place names in Essex but thats about all - I am very good at asking others for help though - in the nicest poss way and always say thank you Ann lol
