I was wondering what had happened to any mails as I haven't had any for ages I was going to recommend the BBC history site for photo's at http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/your_history/your_photos/ Also to say I wrote a little piece about my Irish ancestors in Caribbee Island, Wolverhampton which was put on the site - Imigration. I've noticed there aren't any other stories for for Irish Imigrants in the C19, so wondered if anyone else knew that this can be done.
