Following my Dec 1 post on this subject, Jean Hamilton kindly visited the UBC Library, examined parts of the Humphrey Toms papers (details below)and sent me details of how to obtain copies.  As a result I now have a 69 page pdf copy of the Humphrey Toms file relating to the Braginton family - his correspondence with researchers, his handwritten notes, parish record extracts, and family trees.  All this was very quickly and efficiently e-mailed to me within 24 hours of contacting them by the friendly staff at UBC.  And all for just 15$ Canadian. UBC don't guarantee such a quick response to every request, especially at busy times but,if there is something of interest to you in the inventory below, send your enquiry to rare.books (at) library.ubc.ca (no spaces and @ required)  Humphrey Toms Research Papers - Call Number RBSC-ARC-1556 Inventory http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/AZ/PDF/T/Toms_Humphrey.pdf Nigel Bond
