	Did he survive to adulthood? If so was he an informant at a family event, such as death or birth, or sign as a witness at his child's wedding. Did he serve in the War? Narrow down the search as much as you can from known facts. If the family stayed in one area, parish records might help with an address given at various family events. What about a Will? Names of beneficeries in the index might help to decide that you've found the right person. Gwyn
