Need A Look Up At NRO
« on: Friday 23 April 04 15:09 BST (UK) »
I am in Canada and need some one who could do a look up at the Norfolk Records Office and perhaps photo copy a page or two for me.  

I have the name and date of discharge from the Norwich Union Workhouse to an Orphanage, and have been told by the Archivist at the NRO the document reference number.   I assume it is a book that may have been filmed.

Help and suggestions appreciated.

Dear Harold,  You can apply by email for the NRO to look up and photocopy info for you.  I have done it a couple of times now.

They charge £10 for half hour search and £20 for hour (maximum).

Good luck

Hi,

I get to the NRO from time to time, so if you can wait for a few weeks then I could do it for you. They charge 0.65 + vat per photocopy either A$ or A3.

I'm trying to track Canadian members of the Reynolds family last known in 1941, father Oswald H. Reynolds working for the Prudential Insurance Company, Toronto. Daughter was Edna, born around 1924ish.

You have found edna reynolds!

She is 81 and is my mother. Daughter of oswald reynolds and Ada clarke.



So mom wants to know who you are, we are quite excited as we didn't know that we would have anyone left in norwich.
