	ooh Thank you!! I would never have got that one!! I thought that it probably looked like an S, comparing it to other letters, but that was a far as I got. Thanks again.

	on the Wales 1871 census, Argoed, Flintshire, Peter and Anne Collins' youngest daughter, Elizabeth Ann, aged 3 is transcribed as being born in Pronimore, Durham. Looking at the census, it doesn't look a bit like Pronimore to me, but I cannot make out what it DOES say!! Other census simply have her born in Durham! Any sharp eyed people out there able to help? Thanks in advance, as ever.
