Hi Dawn. I'll have a look next Tuesday. Do you have any idea which part of Portsmouth it was in? I like your spelling. It's a good job you didn't put an R in father!!

Hi Dawn. You could try the Kellys Directories for Portsmouth. They have a section at the back of businesses. Who are you looking for, I can have a look next week when I go to Portsmouth Record Office if you want. Jan
