YoungWillz 21,044 Posted August 3, 2017 Hmm. "How do I get maximum traffic to my site on someone famous having died?" says the Ed. Obituary Writer: "Let's make reference to his Shakespeare roles and Winston Churchill...." Former Obituary Writer down the Jobcentre: "I'd like to sign on for welfare please..." Hey, it's not necessarily about the quality of the work. The headlines are there for the site's benefit, not ours. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,581 Posted August 4, 2017 10 hours ago, Lord Fellatio Nelson said: IIRC, he 'starred' in a few US shows back in the late 70s/80s as did a few other British actors who were vaguely famous. Usually played villains ( surprise surprise ) but never had the air time that some like Wilfred Hyde White and Nigel Stock had. He was in Babylon 5. So surprised he isn't dead yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,581 Posted August 4, 2017 In my opinion the Harry Potter books are competent if somewhat derivative. The films from what I have seen are terrible and given undue credibility by some fantastic actors (Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, Maggie Smith, Fiona Shaw........) This does not detract from the fact that I do conside J K Rowling to be one of the world's greatest................ .............self publicists. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pages aren't sorted by year or anything like that, but you can get limited electoral roll information for Denville and Brinsworth here https://www.searchelectoralroll.co.uk/Electoral_Roll_Index.asp?pc=HA62SB https://www.searchelectoralroll.co.uk/Electoral_Roll_Index.asp?pc=TW25AL Note that the pages cover the entire postcode so if there are any private houses etc. within the same postcode they may also be included. Obviously it only includes people that registered to vote at the address so won't cover everybody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

death by chocolate 4 Posted August 4, 2017 The info at the top of the pages says the information is from 1980 to 2017. The website does get updated though so may provide useful information at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
