A.B.C. in Perth 1949
« on: Saturday 15 October 11 15:51 BST (UK) »
I have a 1949 newspaper article which indicates an ancestor was "a frequent contributor to this newspaper (Albany Advertiser), and to city papers.  Recently he had contributed regular sessions to the A.B.C. in Perth on English Sport." 

Would someone know what "A.B.C." was in 1949?  I'd like to check into what he wrote.

Thanks,
Sue

Sue,

I am a decendant of James Pratt. I noticed 1 of you post about Mary Pratt Carr. Do you have any information about James Pratt or his wife Mary Maystone you could share.
I have some with the family in Norwich, Norfolk.
Thanks

Nathan Pratt
