Hi Tracey:

The Biography and Genealogy Master List, which is available on the link you have provided, has a really good search engine. :)

Hi Tracey
Brilliant!
I had a free "go" at the Times archives a couple of years ago and found it to be a wonderful source - mostly for a branch of my lot who ended up in London, but I kept coming across fascinating stuff, so looking forward to finding out more!

Thanks for that.
Best wishes
Lesley
