Title: ALGER family Diss area
Post by: Brian on Thursday 08 April 04 11:53 BST (UK)
Hello

Has anyone any information on the family of Cleer Sewell Alger victorian surveyor, lithographer, auctioneer and appraiser (and photographer).  Or can you point me in the direction of information on the same please.  I have some stereographs of his from Diss and the Waveney Valley, although I have seen the book on Diss using his photos there is no significant information.

Many thanks

Brian :)

Hi

I tried to search your site to no avail.  Do the boxes not work or is it my computer?

I am interested in named people from Norfolk or Norfolk views.

Thanks very much.

Teddy
