I would just like to post a message to all the above people who have replied with loads of vaulable information on my family tree. May i say the information has been very good, and thank you very much for putting your time and effort in to finding such details. After wiping the tears of joy from my eyes i was able to read them all and alot of things make sense like my great great grandfather coming from ireland, as i have an aunty margaret who lives in ireland and always wondered why she seemed to be the only one there... once again many thanks for the missing pieces of my jig saw, happy new yr to you all, you have all made my new yr a happy one already..
