Chris - many thanks for the warning about the opening times for the Archives. I was aware they were closed on Mondays, and on Saturdays they shut at 1pm. Given I know exactly what I want to look at, and want to be as quick as possible, I intend to book in advance so that the materials can be ready when I arrive. Thanks also for suggestions of things to do in Gloucester.

Taipan - I'm glad to hear that the Dean Heritage Centre went down well. Having looked at their website I note they have a 'dragon festival' on 25/26 October, which is when we'll be there. Even more entertainment for my son!

I have to say that I'm rather looking forward to my visit: partly for the research and generally soaking up the atmosphere of where my ancestors lived, but there's so much else to do too. My only worry is that we won't have enough time for it all.

Regards, Janey
