    3. Graham, My Prices have so far been tracable only in the Much Wenlock area of Shropshire but I am also looking for Hulston in Wreham. William Hulston was a shoemaker in Manchester in 1851 Census together with his wife (?) Elizabeth nee Hughes. They are not in the remnant of the Wrexham 1841 Census. I would like a copy of your Wrexham directory in case he may be in that.

This is taken from the book my grandfather brought out to Australia 1880s before his original landing 1873, and who sailed back and forth a number of times before eventually settling in Australia. Please be aware that the PDF version of trades in Wrexham, though taking only a minute or two to download on broadband may take over 20 minutes on dial-up. Anyone still on dial-up (I know all about it!) will experience a fair delay in downloading, so think twice about this. The serial version of Genetree, my little family history publication which has been going on since 1994, is now available to anyone on these lists in a PDF version. August 2006 is the first edition PDF'd, so all other editions in the future will be available for anyone who wishes to take advantage of this. The main reason for this is to allow family historians to look and see what they themselves might be able to do in putting our a regular newsletter or magazine for their own relatives and others who are interested. Things certainly open up on the world-wide web. I was pleasantly, and at the same time, surprised in mind, to find that so many folk on these two lists would be so interested in doing much the same as I have done, putting out a family history newsletter for their relatives. I thought that I would receive about five or six replies from those interested. What a surprise to find out that over fifty folk on these two lists were interested in doing the same thing! I can't really believe it, but must accept it. Just goes to show you, never, ever, keep things to yourself. Let the list know what you are up to. You never know where things will lead to in family history research and as long as you make others aware of your needs you may then be pleasantly surprised. And that is what these lists are all about.
