Thanks to you all for your responses...
The reason I ask is I am trying to trace my mum's father who she never knew, only that she went with her mum to the Guildhall to collect child maintenance when she was little.. this was back in the 1930's.. she doesn't even know his name so I know I am clutching at straws..but she's 84 and it's such a shame. She knows he worked for the Nottingham Evening Post but that's all.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks again
