Sorry - ignore that!  More haste less speed etc. I realised that's the instructions for current free access to Ancestry ....

Here in Bristol you have to logon to the library site first, and then you get shown a different front page message about ODFNBI which you can then click on and use.

A very good idea.

This made me want to look up the dictionary, and I tried to sign in as usual via Norfolk Libraries, and I can't get in.  This is rather alarming, as I'm just getting into preparing a talk.  Does anyone know why, or can you still get in via other public libraries?  Access to OED and DNB seem unaffected.

One area where place-name enthusiasts may be able to contribute is the identification of lost place-names which survive as surnames (sometimes in an altered form).   Here are some which I have noted in the dictionary, but there are many more.

Dear Stephen

Thank you for this, and sorry t have missed it at the weekend. We would be very pleased to have earlier evidence for any of the names we've analysed. I can be found at the e:-address buried in my footer.

Best regards

Richard

I was very please to see temporary free access to the Surname Directory having previously unsuccessfully tried to log in via my National Library of Wales readers card.

I was interested in two surnames:- SPAREY and DENNING – which are names I have researched in my own family history and have earlier references to the names and in other geographical areas than  those noted.

Would this information be of interest to the compilers of the Dictionary, and what would be the best method of forwarding this to them?

I assume not via this mailing list !

Thanks.

Stephen Emlyn-Jones
