Having got to the Record Office web site, thanks to Stan, and used the search facility, it proved impossible to link to any of the resulting items because the result list used the old web addresses!

Hi Stan, from the home page you gave me I click Search from the menu, entered a search argument (thirlwell in this case) and got a list of hits returned, "Results from the DRO Database...". Selecting any result produces "Address not found". There is something slightly odd. Running the cursor over the results list shows the URL beginning www.durham.gov.uk/recordoffice\register.nsf/.......etc but somewhere when linking to this there is a re-direction to www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk which is the old home page address and cannot be found. Below the list of results from the search is a list of useful PDF guides. Trying to link to these is also a problem, though in this case the link remains within the the nd.durham.gov.uk site but goes to a page with a message saying the page couldn't be found, eg http://nd.durham.gov.uk/recordoffice/usp.nsf/Lookup/PDFHANDLISTS/$file/HANDLIST02.pdf The link back to the home page given is: http://www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk/ which is, of course, the old one. Just in case my thirlwell search argument may have been part of the problem I tried searching seaham and got the same problem. Ian [email protected] wrote: > > > Hi Ian, > Which links do not work?
