I am researching family members from Woodbridge and surrounding areas. Names included are Pizey, Alderton, Ablitt, Stevens, Overett. Occupations include Butcher and Fishmonger. Since starting my research, I have found out that a friend of 8 years, who I randomly met shares the same family as me! Any feedback would be greatly received.
Thanks, Jayne

Just wondered if know anyone interested in the loss of the Zeppelin L48, one of Suffolks most important aviation incidents. There is a new forthcoming "Zeppelin War" book published by Tempus edited by Neil Faulkner and Nadia Durrani, I thought you may be interested in. (News and press release).
As you might know I organised the excavation of the Zeppelin L48 in Theberton, Suffolk from its beginnings and it was later featured as part of a BBC Timewatch programme. The actual publication date is as yet undecided but it is loosely scheduled for end of Jan / Feb 2008. I have had a look at a PDF file of the contents and its superbly laid out with extensive sections of L48 crash photographs taken in 1917 and also the excavation that took place in June 2006. This section includes actual fragments of L48 that were discovered in 2006 as well as the amazing German Imperial Naval Officers button that was found by a metal-detectorist during the dig.
Other contents are defences, excavations of gun emplacements, and a whole host of fascinating associated topics, this research involves some of the the very first archaeological excavations of British defences in World War one and of course the World`s first ever archaeological excavation of one of the five Zeppelins to crash on British soil, ground breaking stuff resulting in a unique ground-breaking publication. We are fast approaching the centenary of the begginnings of World War One which should make this all the more poignant and thought evoking read.
Kind regards Julian.
