            I don't think that any of the sites with records available via a sub allows the subscribers to do look-ups for other people. There's no problem with letting people know that the information is actually there and worth looking for - perhaps with a short sub, or credits, depending on the site.

            Have you checked your local library service? Many offer Ancestry via a visit to the library. Some even have FMP. It's amazing just how much some of them hava available for free to library members.

              if the entry was handwritten I'd suggest that the job was Telst 2nd cl, ie telegraphist second class - cursive writing capital T does look rather like a print J

                  Unfortunately Christine, my local library does not do Ancestry, it is a very small library and offers very little!!

                    Have just found list of abbreviations online and the TS for place appointed stands for Telegraph Section Go to this page http://www.postalheritage.org.uk/pag...gy-mainsources and then click on the Family History Guide link.
