Over the years I have blogged on numerous occasions of the successes I have had searching in old newspapers for articles about my family. I recently had another great find.
Locating a photo of an ancestor in the newspapers makes an article even more exciting. I recently discovered that my great uncle, Alfred Edward Pummeroy, worked for a few years as a jockey, so I headed to the newspapers to see if he was mentioned in racing news.
To my delight, not only did I find several articles about his short (and not terribly successful) racing career, but I also found a photograph of him with a couple of other jockeys.
