post office employees in Nottingham?
« on: Friday 10 April 09 17:36 UTC (UK) »
After my ggrandfather died, he left his wife £500 (apparently) which allowed her to buy a post office in Nottingham and provide for her 2 sons. Any suggestions of how I can check the post office link out?

Thanks for that link, Malc. I'll investigate it thoroughly once Easter's over!

Hi Di,
If the historical directories don't help ( and they may well solve your problem); then help looks as if it is on the way:

You keep an eye on www.ancestry.co.uk

Hope this helps - good luck.

Hi Paulene
So far no success with the directories but the Ancestry link looks very promising. Thanks!
