Ok peeps i'm rarely here these days due to a broken foot and work and life in general...

...well while not here i have still been keeping my hand in, i found an amazing book on Google books the other week and was astounded i could download the PDF for free... this book being about one of my partners ancestors...

Well, tonight i have just found this,

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Phillimore%2C%20W.%20P.%20W.%20(William%20Phillimore%20Watts)%2C%201853-1913%22

It's some of the Phillimore's volumes, entirely free and again from google books, there is a few links on the middle right which i'm sure will get you more of the Philimores range!

Got to be saving a few of us some pennies surely??

Thanks for that Tracey. Found these once before but didn't save the link for them. Busy searching now, and thanks for the tip, Sue M.

They are def something not to be kept to yourself.

I have now found if you fiddle with the search options at the top you can get more info, inc a book Phillimore did on name changes.

Thanks for this link. I know you hurt your foot ages ago but I hope that it healed well and that you don't get any pain.
