Hi

If you go to http://www.booksulster.com/index.php and type Ordnance Survey Memoirs in the 'Title' box then hit search, you should get a list of which areas they have available (quite a number to choose from).

Hope this helps.

 ;D...glad to have been of help. The site only recently came to my attention and they do seem to have a good range of genealogy/local history related books/maps etc.

Thanks for spotting that scotmum.
I added it to my favourites list and sent it to a friend who does a lot of reading.

Hi Saz,

I'm sure Frank Carson will not mind if I use a couple of his catch phrases. You're a cracker. It's the way you tell them. You already thanked Scotmum. I nearly split my sides laughing when I read your message.

Thanks for pointing that out Uncle Christopher - but I realised I hadn't told her that I used the link, received the books and would highly recommend their prompt service   :-*
I do hope your sides recover!
