Hi Paul Don't know if you want to publicise this on Wessex. If you do please could you remove Jessamy and Anthony Wilsdon's name, email address etc. Jessamy lurks on the list but she doesn't want the fact that she is an archivist working at the Record Office made public knowledge as she is understandly concerned that she will start receiving private requests for look ups, free research etc. I've cut out the relevant section to send to Dorset with my own introduction.
