Hi,

That postcode seems to cover the Eastleigh area; these papers might print a letter for you:

My sister lives in the Eastleigh area.  Maybe I could look in her telephone directory to see if the person is listed?

Don't bother with the Echo. Even their Editor says they will help, but they never do. They promised several times last year to print a picture for someone on this site, but they never did.
Snell Brentford cira 1910: Canada cira 1924

Snell; Southampton 1920

Payne: Old Itchen Ferry Village, Woolston, Southampton Cira 1800 to 1930

Price: HMS Collosus & Victory cira 1900

Ernest Cooper; Cornwall, b about 1880 to 1900; Cornwall

I placed a letter asking for any information regarding lost family living in Southampton area and had a very positive response, this is the link should all else fail,

Thank you all for your replies, I wrote to both papers and heard back from the Daily Echo, who said they would forward the information to their editor to put into the paper....fingers crossed
