Recent Correspondence (May 2015)

Charles Campbell Ridgway was a pupil at Lockers Park School, Hemel Hempstead, in 1915. Following a query from Alan, who is related to him, I have added Charles' obituary from the Times. See Ephemera - an empty envelope.

Thanks to information received from Christine I have placed a link to the Chidwickbury Stud on the Childwickbury page.

I have had two queries about photographs taken by Thomas Latchmore of Hitchin, relating to people in the pictures. In neither case was there sufficient clues to be able to identify the individuals. (The more dateable examples of work by Hertfordshire photographs the more I can help people date their old pictures.)

Even an empty envelope can provide useful information

Ephemera

Just an old envelope - but what does it tell us? If you are going through old family records it is always worth pausing to think what such a "useless bit of paper" can tell you about the family before you consign it to the waste paper basket.
