Questions you may be asking: can I send you pictures? Yes - photos are always very welcome - they help with identification and sometimes I can add them to the web site. If you are send pictures of pottery then always send a picture of the mark on the bottom of the ware, it is more important for identification than the ware itself.  Pictures of people, buildings and places from Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding area are very useful.     why haven't I had a reply? a) I always try to answer every email but I receive lots of emails every week and occasionally one or two go astray (or sometimes I'm on holiday). If you haven't had a reply after a couple of weeks then send me a (nice) reminder. If you have not had a reply then check that your return email address is correct, here's how: In Microsoft email select the menu 'Tools' then follow: 'accounts' 'properties' 'general' and then make sure your full email address is in the 'reply address' box. (it will be a similar process with other email systems) b) Your computer may have a virus (& you don't know about it!) - my virus checker deletes emails with viruses and so you may not get a response - if you haven't got virus software then  c) Check that your mailbox isn't full - sometimes I get a bounce back message that the mailbox is full and unfortunatly I have no way of contacting you.    can I get help with family history? My time is limited so I can't do in-depth research (there are some resources on this site - see 'family history') If I can then I will take photos of houses / streets for you - just ask.
