Technical Help / Find my Past Newspaper Archive
« on: Tuesday 20 October 20 13:23 BST (UK)  »
Since the Windows 10 update, on the Show Filter Screen for the newspapers, I do not have the Cancel, Apply filters button showing. I have no problem with it on my iPad. Is anyone else having this problem?
I can get round this if I click on Inspect then they do show.

In the  Dublin Weekly Nation - Saturday 11 December 1875 under the heading "Durham Subscription Fund" there is a list of subscribers. I can find no other mention of this anywhere online. Has anyone heard of it?

Sussex / Jarvis Mapstone Northiam Sussex
« on: Thursday 18 February 16 12:08 GMT (UK)  »
In the Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills, 1384-1858, there is one for a Jarvis Mapstone of Northyham,(Northiam) Parish 1654. I would be very interested in any details of Jarvis or if transcripts of the Parish are available. As the Mapstones seem to have originated in Somerset, I would like to know what the connection is to Sussex.
