Hi George, Sorry re delay, I missed your message and Georgina sent me a mail telling me. Thanks for the info. That's the family!!!!!!!! This is Riley/Ripley/Lionel's (yes he even has ANOTHER name) family. This is great news as I now have further bros. and sisters and I know his parents. Fantastic. Looks like I will have to move the search to Notts/Lancs and London. Isn't it amazing when you finally knock that wall down? All I have to do is figure out what happened to the parents and why the kids had to go in the workhouse. I can't find the deaths on Free BMD and can't get to the library till tomorrow to look at the GRO. More mysteries!!! I just hope it gives some hope to those with brickwalls. It took me nearly a year to find Riley then within 3 weeks I get all this!!!!! Thanks again George, John
