Worth £2.00 (you don't need to purchase the minimum £6.00 - just enter the code).

Hope it helps someone I now have 5 direct generations.

Thanks for the info about Quidco, trying to stay away from them since they fell from grace...

Can you enlighten me, please? I have used them for several purchases and all have problems with the cash back!

Thanks i have just got to the Scottish part of my family and need to know more about one particular side of it, it's the usual thing one side is easy to find out about and the other is more difficult but this may help...

Hi I am helping my father in law complete his family tree, I am abit stuck. I have a London address and I need to find out who was living there around 1918, is this possible?

Does anyone know of any good free sites I can use?

The only way, ( to my limited knowledge, but ready to stand corrected!!) would be to access the Electoral Roll for the year. They are usually archived at local Record offices, Libraries etc. You would need to identify the Borough and make enquiries from there.

Try Rootschat, link below with archive details for the various boroughs. Very nice friendly folk there!

The Archive Offices for London are listed on a sticky on the Rootschat London Board

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,412596.0.html


There is also an option for members (free to register) to make "look-up" requests to other members local to the relevant archive. Suggest you read the Guidance for Posting sticky before making a request, just to get the format right! You would need to be patient with the timescale for this though! Go to the England Board, click on London, the look-up requests board is usually at the top of the page.

Rootschat is a wonderful, free, friendly site. If the other members can't help you directly, someone will point you in the right direction.

Well the 10 credits didn't help as the one marrigae certificate i need is the one you can't view online :mad: So now i have to wait until i can afford the £10 to get the marriage certficate which will be a long time coming....

Just shows that you do need money once you get started to really find out about your family and you need a lot of it.....:(

Thanks anyway for the free 10 credits worth a shot....
