We have compiled the most complete catalogue of spectroscopically confirmed classical novae in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). This catalogue, containing over 980 novae, includes observational parameters such as spectral class, peak magnitude, expansion velocity, recurrence status, and decline times. By utilising archival ground-based Halpha imaging, and near- and far-UV data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) observatory, we have used the Normalised Cumulative Rank (NCR) pixel statistic method to probe any correlation between the location of these novae and star forming regions in M31, which can also be employed to constrain the age of the underlying population. Archival spectra from the Liverpool Telescope (LT) will be used to give spectral classification to novae which currently have no spectral class. Here we present preliminary results from this work.
