I know its a nightmare researching in a records office as everything takes so much longer than expected.
One one occasion I only had one day and I ended up with the dodgy machine which was awful. Then if you wanted a copy you had to load it up onto another machine to print off - making sure you knew where the record was on the reel and yes you've guessed it - someone was already on it

I know that if it isn't catalogued, they wouldn't miss it

You could get yourself accidentally locked in for the weekend? But promise to leave the H fiche in the drawer when you've finished with it, every record office I ever go to has had the H fiches stolen. Take a different letter if you must, but leave the Hs alone and oblige, thankyou.

Okay, so I started dishevelled and ordered the original documents. Extremely dirty (both me and the records) by close of play! Catalogue description baffling, but they are my people!
I also have enough photocopied wills to keep me transcribing all winter. Oh, and I found the obligatory Holden. (Trusts OC isn't actually interested in miscellaneous Norfolk Holdens in the 1600s)

Erm.....I am not aware that any Holdens went to Norfolk?
Glad you had a productive day getting down and dirty in the RO! OC |

Holdens are EVERYWHERE, OC! I have spied them near and far.
I can only surmise that they bred like rabbits. Phoenix, I'm so pleased you had a fruitful day's research. |

Thank you both. I so want another day!
It takes all day to suss the system, and great discipline not to duff up the couple at the photocopier. How I would love to spend a week there. I wasn't in the least organised, as usual, having forgotten that I needed the MF refrence for the wills. At least I managed to look at everything I wanted to, and managed to leave before I was shooed out.
