Missing Data? (Asplin and Cottrell sites)

[Kerrywood]

Since the apparent demise of Aol Hometown, does anyone know what has happened to Kevin Asplin's military resources site? Or for that matter Rob Cottrell's site for Thamesside/Medway parishes and watermen/lightermen (Trueflare)? All this data is very much missed.

I'm sure you won't mind Kerrywood, but I have changed the title of this thread so that it will show up better and help people in Useful Online Resources as well as being in the military section.

Edit: Oops! Just seen the second part of this request. May have to change the title again!

Brilliant! Thanks so much for the link, Sue :)

I found Rob Cottrell's Truflare site by entering the old URL into the Wayback Machine at http://www.archive.org/index.php and clicking on July 2007, the last update on AOL. This should give you some contact points, but as it appears to be a commercial site I can't give further details on here.

Thanks, this gave me exactly what I needed - his postal address :)

Following the closure of AOL hometown site, you can email Rob Cottrell at rjcindexATaolDOTcom and he will pass on the new web page address to you for those interested in Thames watermen and lightermen, likewise the Thames & Medway riverside indexes.
