On the face of it they charge 9 pence a page for copying. Although they seem to be Military researchers, I don't think your request will cause a problem.

Don't know how they manage 9p a sheet, thr NA charges 25p

They must take digital pics and print elsewhere

Maybe the minimum charge of £4.50 helps as most people would only want a few pages copied

Just a thought

Hi Dalibabe,
I picked up the following information,
In 1911 it looks like Josef Adolphus Fingerneissl is in Eastbourne. He married Susan Maria Alder, 1912 Wantage, Berks.  He died, 21/12/1961 at 4 Nicholson Way, Sevenoaks.  Probate was awarded to Susan.  Susan herself died Q3 1977, Tonbridge Registration District.  Her DOB is given as 23/11/1882.
If none of the suggestions given here about obtaining copies from TNA work, I will be going to the UK in June/July & could have a look at them for you,

Jane

hi again all, something that has come to mind is that i am unable to find any records on josef coming to england in 1901. He would have only been 12 so surely he would have come over here with a relative  of sorts. if not where we he go?

[Jane Masri]

Have you found him in the 1901 census?  I've just looked & he's not showing up,

[Dalibabe]

no i have looked but assumed he came to the UK after the census was taken, the US has ellis Island records but i cannot seem to find any for the UK

There is no equivalent of Ellis Island for the UK

[Dalibabe]

Thanks Davidft, would you happen to know if there is any other way I can find out this information

[BumbleB]

He is not showing on incoming passenger lists as listed on Ancestry.  But that is most probably due to the fact that he was arriving from Europe, as opposed to USA, Australia, etc. 

I am not aware that the cross-Channel ferries ever had passenger lists.  Sorry 

[Jane Masri]

Dalibabe, why do you think he came to the UK in 1901?  What is your source?  All this information should be recorded in those documents at the TNA.
There are several public trees on Ancestry that include Josef.  Do you have a subscription?
