Find Ancestors

I know what you mean Heather. I did a brilliant piece of investigation yesterday and I know the guy read the response, because he then posted another thread with the surname that I found for him. What did I get? Sweet FA!!!! grrrrrrrrr

I wonder if stephen has seen all this? I do wonder sometimes if people actually come back to check things on this board - unlike tips and records?

Now this could be the one who married Ethel
