Assuming that the births were after 1911, the MMN will be recorded. Other than that, there's no easy way, other than to 'ration' your searching..........do it in 5-year blocks, taking a rest in between, and making a note of where you've got to each time you stop. Reg

So, you're looking for children named Jackson, with MMN Clamp? Is that correct? If the two marriages were 1926 and 1939, you don't have many years to search............ Reg
