Does anyone know where I can get a copy of ANCESTOR MAGAZINE for December 2004? I recently saw a piece on a website that mentioned an article about the 'Piners of Hedgerley' being in this particular issue. I am a descendant of the Piner family and I have traced them back to c.1700 in and around Hedgerley & Burnham in Buckinghamshire so I am very interested in this article ! Any info would be grately appreciated. Many thanks Annette

Hi, I googled for it and got the following addy for back issues: http://www(.)ancestorsmagazine(.)co(.)uk/back_issues.php Remove the brackets before you enter it. BTW have you tried googling your Piner surname? Lots of refs for it.

Hi Heather, Thanks ! I have worked out which issue it should be but it doesn't list every article in the mag so I will have to take pot luck with it ! I googled the name a couple of months ago and got quite a lot of interesting info including a criminal!!!!!!!!! Thanks again Annette

Probably impractical for you, but they have back issues for sale at both the FRC and Kew bookshops. nell

Thats typical! I was at FRC last month but didn't know about the article then!!!!!! Live in Kent and not able to visit again for ages.

Annette, surely you can email them and ask what issue the article was in?

Annette I agree with Heather try mailing them and ask about it, you never know yo may stike gold. I recently put a plea for living rellies in an Irish paper ( actually worked too got 3 replies :-) ) But i wanted a copy fro my records, so being the cheeky me I called them and asked for one. I was willing to pay but she never mentioned the cost so neither did I LOL Got a copy in post two days later. I doubt the magazine will do that, but they may have it on file and be prepared to send you a photocopy, after all it is only the one article you want. If you don't try you'll never know. Shelli

Annette, I have just looked right through the December 04 issue of Ancestors and this article about the Piners of Hedgerley is not in that issue. However I remember seeing the article fairly recently, so if you can wait a couple of days I will look through my Ancestor Mags to see which one this article is in and get back to you. Janet

Thanks Janet I would appreciate that. I can't find the site where I read about the article and it was only a snippet of info. I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct mag but I can't think what other one it would have been referring to. Annette
