[Nicola]

Does anyone have any old photos of the Northam or Billing family from yarcombe Devon? I do not have any photos of my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmothers side of the family. They were William Northam and Isabella Billing. I only have a few of my grandfather Edward Northam.
Regards, Nicola

Sarah,
If you make another couple of posts you will be able to send Nicola a personal message (PM).  This may be a better way of contacting her as the topic is quite old.

Thanks Robert totally new to all of this need a few pointers using about 20 different websites each one has so many different ways to do things every time i think i have managed to get hold of Nicola my dreams are dashed i was told that it would be relatively easy to do my english tree but harder to do the Irish side i am living prove that this is not the case.
My Irish tree literally jumped out and kicked me in the face where as the English has me stuck before i have really started.

Ok Sarah.  somewhere under each persons name by the side of a post is something that looks like a little green scroll.  Click on that and it will open up a form so that you can send someone a personal message.  If you are trying to contact someone through an old posting then a PM may be better as people don't always check back.  I think Nicola has been on the forum recently so should pick up a personal message notification.  The problem is that you cannot send personal messages until you have made 3 posts on the forum, a sort of security check.  You've now made two posts, so one more and you can send Nicola a PM.
