Hi Granny Bangles,

If you're not in too much of a rush to find out I will be going to the records office at Matlock in the next 2-3 weeks and would be more than happy to look the info up for you. Just put your details on here or PM me and I will see what I can find out.

Hi Granny Bangles

Chrissie's offer is great, take her up on it. Or you could try Derek whose post "Who are we looking for in Derbyshire" is often near the top of the list on this board - he seems to have more records than Matlock do! Only joking, but he might already have Belper.
