The Times Digital Archive look-up please

[Velma Dinkley]

I'm no longer able to get free access to this - a member very kindly provided me with a link and password recently, but this no longer works. My local library has it on their website, but it won't work for me and their technical guy is still looking into it... :o

Anyway, in the meantime can someone look up a James Merrett, who was a cab driver in London please. When I could get free access, I found a report in The Times naming him as a witness in a court case. At the time I wasn't sure if he was 'my man' so rather stupidly didn't save it, believing that I could get access at a later date when I had confirmed this.... hmmm... :o

Thanks for your help!

Ooooh that's him, thanks so much Uncle John

If I send you my email address, can you send the report to me please?

[Uncle John]

I'll have a go!

You have mail, of a negative variety. I can't send attachments to aol addresses, so I'll try to think of something else.

I've got the image on to photobucket.

Succesfully snagged, thanks Uncle John

Although I can't delete posts, sorry.

Now you see it, now you don't!
