News Agent? Thank you Nivard, you are right - I did mean Metheringham, just got confused as Ancestry had in one reference as Metherington. I found a great little website about Metheringham, Blankney and a couple of other small villages. The man I am looking for regarding being a news agent is William Pacey b abt 1870 Glandford Brigg - he is in Metheringham in 1901 and 1911 - living in Hall Yard with parents and a brother and 2 sister. The other man is Tom Pacey (William's brother) he's the one listed as a Hawker.
