Am not sure whether you are new to Warwickshire or just looking for new avenues of research in this beautiful county. Never forget - "Pickards Pink Pages" - a treasure chest of all sorts of information. http://www.hunimex.com/warwick/index.html And I have always found NNWFHS web site a valuable source of material for the north of the county around Nuneaton. http://www.nnwfhs.org.uk/ Anne Paling SHEFFIELD, U.K. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Sat, 5 Jun 2010 18:06:13 +0100 > Subject: [WAR] What records are available in Warwickshire > > Hello all, > > It is very quiet here of late, so I thought I'd mention some things that > have helped me doing research in other counties but I do not recall seeing > discussed here. > > i) Applications for residency/removal orders.
