Where is this photo taken? Please?

Donna

It was no problem, however if you would like a really good quality photo or photos with car number plates on (ha ha) , please send me a e-mail address on the personal message thingy, and I'll send the high quality (over 300K) ones over, I can't in the group

Again it was no problem, I was interested to see the difference

Regards

Andrew

Another bonus for this thread!

It would be great for Rootschat's profile if this is picked up by the local press - and it may even interest the local TV as its a great piece of detective work!

cheers

Donna,

Yes indeed this is a brilliant topic showing what RootsChatters can do!

We have no problem at all in people contacting their local newspapers on any article that may be of local interest to them.

An easy way to do it is to get in contact with the newsdesk and speat to one of the reporters and explain whatever topic to them, and then ask them for their email address. (Explain that you will send them a link by email.) You can then use the "Send to a Friend" button to send them the topic.

Thank you very much for your reply, Trystan!

I will leave the local newspaper's attention with Andrew R to scoop as he wishes. I hope this brings many great things for the site.

Everyone on Rootschat has my most sincere appreciation.  I look forward to Winter... when I can spend much of my time with you all... both learning and helping.

Happy day,
Donna

Well

The Whitehaven News was interested and said that they also have a thing called "Cleator Moor" crack, whether something gets printed I don't know but the lady reporter seemed interested, I also asked if any of the readers could possibly shed any more light on the farms you mentioned

We will see, if you think about it local papers are probally a good source of information - The Whitehaven News quite often prints old photos asking if anyone knows any information and old stories some quite interesting.

They have a web site and if you hold on I'll post it and a few other local ones that have information on

Hi Donna,

Sometimes when you write a letter to the editor, they will place your letter in the paper for free.  I have done this a few times and had great responses.  One fellow was not a relation, but his neighbor had the same name I was looking for and cut out my letter to give to them.
