AGRA (The Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives) is holding a Professional Network Day in Leeds on Monday 16th March aimed primarily at anyone running a genealogy service in England/Wales who is not already a Member/Associate of AGRA. Speakers will give general advice on running a successful genealogy business, and the benefits of joining the Association. A speaker from the Board of Assessors will demystify the application process. This will be a great opportunity to meet and network with other delegates - lunch is included in the price.

This would also be useful for any researchers thinking of taking up genealogical research as a new business.

I have a man (William Farndale) whose birth place changes in various censuses but is most likely to be in the Ampleforth area. On the 1871 census (whilst living in Settrington) his birthplace appears as shown on this image. Transcribed on Ancestry as Fegleg ?

Can someone with a knowledge of the area suggest what/where it may be ?

Can anyone suggest what were the local newspapers most likely to cover Easton on the Hill in WW2. I am looking for information on air raids in the area in February 1941.

I will be visiting the British Newspaper Library at Colindale this week and wondered which titles would be the best to examine.

Just transcribed a will and I think I have it all correct - but just wanted a second/third opinion on a place name and year the will was written (it was proved in 1768).

I would be grateful for any suggestions about the occupations of Nellie Walder (18) and her brother Alfred (16) on the census in 1901, living in Prince of Wales Road, West ham.

For the Father, John - I see Engine Driver (Stationary   Worker

Nellie seems to be Bottle India ?  .... no idea what that is

Alfred ...either Brickmaker or Boliermaker... opinions ?

Father in law Joseph I see as Retired Blacksmith.
