Occupation Interests / help on Journalist relative
« on: Friday 13 June 08 11:35 BST (UK)  »
HI can anybody help me on where to look now for information of my great grandads working life. I know that for all his working life he was a journalist i found him in 1861 working for the Surrey Times other census just says he was a journalist ,writer or author which i suspect means the same thing.In 1901 census he lived on IOW he moved his family back to London in about 1907 my nan seemed to think he worked for the mercury at some point and the Globe.
Lastly i have just found his orbituary in a newspaper which confirmed he was on the permanent staff of the standard for some years but when died in 1924 he was still at work and was on the Exchange Staff at the Law Courts.Can anybody explain what that means that he did in law courts and if there is anyway to find info.would appreciate any directions given
Regards

Can anybody please point me in the right direction i would like to see if my grandads army records have survived he was in the Royal field Artillery in WW1.My sister in law paid a researcher for copies of  her grandads records some of her pages were burnt so i know what to expect .She has no idea where he got them,also they were alot of money which i can ill afford ,i wonder is it possible for me to look myself.
Forgive me if question silly but know nothing of the army.
