I guess I will probably start to annoy people on Twitter, like I have the people in my household, wanting to share my 'discoveries' from ebay.
However, I have had a success in the past as I may have mentioned before with a memorial card that belonged to the ancestors of a distance cousin. It was great to be able to return it to his branch of the family.
Well, one of my biggest successes was a purchase I made (for what I consider peanuts) of 86 copies of Aris's Birmingham Gazette. They cover the years 1834 and 1836.
There are two other purchases for copies dated 1809 and 1821.
