	Hi Dorothy Does this mean you have dismissed the birth index I put on Births March (quarter) 1860 BOWERBANK Lancelot Durham 10a 276 I can't find this child (by this actual spelling of the surname) on any census ect.-- the nearest being the 1861 census Best wishes Barbara

	I think that the one that Barbara found could well be the same one that I found on BVRI. Lancelot Brusbank was christened 8 April so probably born March quarter. The surname is spelled differently but Mary Jane's christening record was spelled Bowerbank.

	Sorry, Dorothy, I didn't mean to confuse you with the birth index, its just seemed about the right year, area, and the nearest surname I could find for your Lancelot. I hope you find him in the end. Best wishes Barbara xx

	I think your BVRI details are the ones too Margaret,Same parents as in 1861 census --It is confusing when names where spelt different most of the time. Best wishes Barbara xx
