Thanks Lesley,

That looks very interesting. I’ll have to have a scratch around in those, although I suspect my Edinburgh lot would have been too poor to send letters.

There’s one for Glasgow as well, and who knows what else.

All the best,
Alan

Thanks Lesley

A timely reminder for me. I did have the site in my bookmarks but lost it when the PC died so now its back in its rightful place on my laptop. :)

If you search for any of the titles in this ebay genealogy item you should find them to download as well ... sometimes you need to shorten the title to get a result
