How annoying is that, Kim:(

Lesley and Chris, you have to register at the site that a couple of us have put on this thread and you'll be able to use it when it comes back online, although I think it's on til tomorrow night.

Hiya Carolyn, I haven't much restraint either (well you know that lol)

Viv, as long as the info is there and you come by it eventually it's cool isn't it - just the journey can be bloody frustrating;))

To my surprise, I think that I may have found the girls on Free BMD.

There are two possible date combinations for both, but with pen and paper to work out when GG grandmother Ellen was pregnant with the surviving children, I think I have the correct children. Just need to send off for the birth certs now.

Wow, this hobby is expensive!!

Pat:))) I just wish it worked like ancestry! I have a few women who I suspect are cohabiting but not married and if I could search on christian name and birth place I might be abe to get them:)

I know I could find many more but I just daren't look because I'd want them all !!!
My Dad and my grandparents and his family are in London, my grandmothers family are in Cambridgeshire and my maternal line is in Bedfordshire.
I'll celebrate with the divorce settlement when it comes through and get them then.
