Hi, glad to please ........that is always a good thing to think laterally and if you are searching try any variants of the name .......or just search under the most unusual of the Christian names , ie Charlotte or Emily .....no point trying John !!! And the National Archives is divided into various sections , and Access to Archives will come up on a google search and just click on Advanced search , and you will see various boxes, put Oram in " this exact working or phrase " and then Repository , scroll down to Hertford Archives and Local Studies ........and you can then see the letters and from the blue highlighted Hertford Archives you can see how write to or email Herts RO for copies . HALS website unfortunately mixes Oram with Boram and Coram and Orams and Goram , but there is a note of WH Oram obituary on page 3 of the County Press, of 14th March 1854 , Hertford . aged 45 . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gail Heeley" <gailheeley1@yahoo.com.au> To: <eng-hertfordshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2010 2:47 PM Subject: Re: [HRT] Oram Family of Hertford > Thanks Elizabeth how wonderful that you found him. > > Now being new what is A2A and how do I look it up and find the info you > gave > me.
