Well done Shirley Always good to hear of success stories Its those kind of unexpected finds that do raise the pulse isn't it :-) In the recent release of the London electoral rolls I have found many hits for my extended family but none so nice to find as my mother and father in their first home Like you I knew where they would be already but its great to find all the same Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Hi, I usually lurk on here now and again as I have family from Lincs as well as Notts,the names being Elston and Revill in Claypole mostly. I saw the post about free newspaper articles and despite the fact that I have a card which gives me access to Nottingham library as a visitor and can get access to newspapers on line (I live in Scotland but was born in Nottingham) I decided to go and look at the free newspapers mentioned in the posting and I was over the moon to find my dad! 6th March 1944 he was reported in the Nottm Evening Post as being wounded in Italy. I did know this of course as he was a disabled service man but I found this purely by accident on this site and was so excited I had to tell you all! Bye for now.........Shirley
