It arrived this morning. Now I haven`t a clue what to do with it, as I have all the Devon information so far, and can`t look up anything until I get some more certificates. Anyone need a look up? The joys of genealogy.

Hi Carol Could you please see if there is a Richard Ackland living in Devon, he was married to a Mary Ann I am unsure of her surname I am almost sure it was Lock. Many thanks. Jill

Neither of those appear with the dates you have given. There are 2 Sarahs born in the 1700s I have tried different spellings on both names. Takes me a while, as I havent found my way around this software yet.

Hi,Carol, Not sure what this search would entail,but if possible could you look for any Johnson that is a butcher in the Yarmouth area of Norfolk. If this would take a ridiculously long time,please don't attempt. Thanks

Carol

Carol Report 29 Sep 2003 18:24

There are 155 Johnson in Yarmouth. Havent found a butcher yet

Hi Carol Could you look for a Thomas Jackson born around 1848 in Hobkrin (?) Worcestershire. I am not sure if the place name is correct it is from the 1881 census on the LDS site. Many Thanks Stephen
