Hello folks 
My great-great-grandfather's brother, Arthur, was an assistant schoolmaster at WL Browne's "Westport House" school in Grimsby, in 1871. In a search of the web I discovered that the Who Do You Think You Are episode featuring John Hurth, in 2007, mentioned that his great-grandfather was the founder and owner of this school - Walter Lord BROWNE.
The episode summaries I found mentioned a prospectus for the school and a photograph of Mr Browne.
My question is, does anyone know where this prospectus was from? Was it the local record office? I would like to track it down and see if I can get a copy of it.
Would appreciate any leads!
Many thanks in advance
Prue

Ah, great! Thanks pharmakon, I will do that.
Lincolnshire is a completely new area to me, so I appreciate the advice.
Cheers
