I self published [beware of who you use I had a bad experience] my family history book, as part of the package the publisher deposited books with each of the legal deposit libraries in the UK [five I think] I also gave copies of the book to Archives some who willingly gave me permission to use material others allowed use providing I didn't make a profit [hardly likely due to all the research costs etc] I also gave a copy to Scunthorpe Museum [permission to use photo's] and Scunthorpe Library [they also purchased several other copies for educational purposes]. Now after my bad experience with the publisher, the book I proofed and copies I received [and bought later] were of a far superior quality than the books they sold to my relatives. I self published on a site called YUDU http://free.yudu.com/ so those who were 'robbed' with the inferior book could access the book and pictures for free. I was for a few hours number 19 in Amazon's Genealogy book chart.

Wrawby is in North Lincolnshire - and contrary to what has been said earlier there is not a County archives for this relatively new county. The Lincolnshire archives hold records for the whole of Lincolnshire (as it was). There is a North East Lincolnshire archive collection at Grimsby, which does hold some North Lincolnshire records - but not an obvious place to check for those of us living in the North Lincolnshire area. A couple of suggestions would be the Lincolnshire archives and maybe Wrawby itself. It does have an active History Group and I could find out whether they would be able to look after a copy of your book for posterity. Let me know, if I can help I will.

A complete milestone, and then back to Wrawby where the family had a long association there, and then back to Keelby it seems. My Benjamin Markham is b:01-04-1841 at Louth, (and not the 15 year old (Porter) Benjamin Markham in London in 1841 Census.), and his parents are Thomas Markham a coach maker of Wrawby and Hannah Ward of Hull?. How do I get a birth certificate for James Frederick Markham ?. Also, since this Markham family is much from Wrawby and Keelby, once I have finished my genealogical book, at which 1-3 places could I leave a copy of this book for keeping and preservation etc. ?. Which would be the best places to submit a few copies of my book ?.
