Sorry Paul, I've just been steaming ahead and have just seen your questions. This link http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp takes you to Moray Council's online database of BMDs. It is really informative and just take the time to play around with it a bit. It takes a bit to get used to but it won't take you long.

Thamks for that Liz i will have a look.

Hi Helen yes i found it but did not give reid as Janets surname.

Thanks for all your help again . Paul.
