What was the "old  bbc site"  just mentioned?
I've been on Rootschat since 2004 and don't remember that

Good grief!
CB was legendary on WDYTYA forum. Such a shame it was closed down, so many interesting topics and queries on there.

I'd use the search feature towards the top of the site, just below the poppies but you can Google Rootschat and then the member username such as "Rootschat".

Some regular Rootschatters have passed away, such as Guy.
Researching:

LONDON, Coombs, Roberts, Auber, Helsdon, Fradine, Morin, Goodacre
DORSET Coombs, Munday
NORFOLK Helsdon, Riches, Harbord, Budery
KENT Roberts, Goodacre
SUSSEX Walder, Boniface, Dinnage, Standen, Lee, Botten, Wickham, Jupp
SUFFOLK Titshall, Frost, Fairweather, Mayhew, Archer, Eade, Scarfe
DURHAM Stewart, Musgrave, Wilson, Forster
SCOTLAND Stewart in Selkirk
USA Musgrave, Saix
ESSEX Cornwell, Stock, Quilter, Lawrence, Whale, Clift

I had already suggested using the Search Feature - but there was no response from the original poster, so I don't know whether they tried it or not.
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.
