Tracing our history
In 2001 the History & Archaeology Team were kindly given a computer in memory of Ken Topham, a former Nottingham postman. It is for use by local and family historians and has searchable databases, including birth, death and marriage records and a number of directories, donated by Mr Topham's stepson. To book a session on the computer, please contact the Community Historian Suella Postles 0115 9152602 or email suellap@ncmg.demon.co.uk
