Gosh, that's amazing - I live just down the road from there and great-grandparents lived in Harborne Road.

It was given to me by a Guild member some years ago. I had thought it related to a family I was related to, but as it turns out, it is not. It is a building lease dated 1888. The property in question is at Harborn Road, Edgbaston, Warwickshire. The owner of the land was Frederick Henry William Calthorpe, Lord Calthorpe of Calthorpe, Norfolk. The lease is going to Richard Hartland Vertegans of Edgbaston. It consists of two large sheets of parchment, one of which is is rather poor condition, although most of it is legible. If anyone would like to have this I will send it to them at no charge. If not, I will donate it to Birmingham Archives.

We are in need of old laptops to use on Guild stands, if you have one that you don't use that is still in working order, can you let me know, even if it is old and slow, we have now three displays that can be used on stands but not enough of the hard stuff. Paul Featherstone Stand Manager

I have found an APPLEBY man on the Incoming Passenger list of the Orduna which arrived from New York in Liverpool on 12 may 1916. His name appears under a handwritten heading 'Deported Passengers'. I've gone through all the pages for the Orduna's crossing and he is one of only six men (all aged between 23-36 and formerly resident of the USA) who are listed under this heading. The only other individuals recorded as being deported on this crossing were a family group of a mother with 6 children. I have not been able to find a record of the Outgoing Passenger list for the Orduna which might have provided a few more clues. Please can any one point me to a source of information regarding the possible circumstances resulting in such deportations? I do know that he emigrated in 1913.

I am sure that when the Conference was first set up the hotel did indeed feature in the rolling Hampshire Countryside. Unfortunately, the Eastleigh Borough Council acquiesced in an appalling act of barbarism and the hotel is now surrounded by an enormous building site for 1400 houses, with proposals for a further 900.

The Federation is looking for volunteers to help with their stand at the Stitching, Sowing and Hobbycrafts Show at ExCel, London on 22 April – see the email below. If anyone is interested in helping, please email me and I will pass on your offer to the Federation. Peter Copsey Your Fed Rep. From: Emma Waltham Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2017 11:30 AM To: Peter Copsey Subject: 22 April ExCeL Hobbycrafts - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Dear Member Family History Society The Federation of Family History Societies has been fortunate to be awarded a free-of-charge stand at the Hobbycrafts Fair at ExCeL in April. We have done this fair several times and find it very worthwhile. Ian Whaley, a member of the FFHS Publicity Subcommittee has always managed the event for us, co-ordinating the event with the help of volunteers from societies. Ian has secured enough volunteers for the Thursday and Friday, but only has two for Saturday 22nd April - the busiest day. Could your society help and send a volunteer or two on the Saturday? It's a great opportunity to promote your own society - as well as FFHS - to a group of hobbyists that may be new to family history, but very interested in it. Volunteers would only need to attend until 3 pm. We'd very much like to continue to attend this event, but we will only be awarded a free-of-charge stand if we can be seen to manning it sufficiently! If you could come back to me by Friday 7 April to let me know if you can help, that would be much appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you.
