A very important resource this.
Only on Saturday a friend of mine found her great grandfather was granted a licence for a pub in Richmond Surrey in the Surrey Comet only a few months before he died.
My great grandfather was done for allowing his horse to stray in Hook Surrey. Meanwhile his future son in law at 9 years old was taken to court for not having a light on his bicycle..
You never know what you find in theses papers that will fill the gaps in the families life.
