Dear Maxine, You have had the very thought of what I had the other week. As you said it is best to ask permission and if they happen to be out take one anyway. It would be lovely just to say that is where my ancesters used to live. As long as they weren't living in any mud huts!! I think it's a great Idea....... Diane...........

Haven't had this problem yet, the only one I've photo'd is the Inn (built in 1808) where my great grandad was lodging on the night of the 1881 census. Strange experience, drinking in the bar where he ate and drank one hundred and twenty two years ago.

I just wondereed if you thought it is acceptable practise to photograph the houses of our dear departed rellies. Of course I would ask permission of the present owners, preferably by letter in advance. Does this seem fanatical to you? I just wondered if anyone had any experience of doing this and how it was taken by the present owners? Regards Maxine
