VOL=11b
PAGE=24
DISTRICT=NEWCASTLE IN EMLYN

THEY E-MAILED BACK AND SAID - THE INFORMATION STATED ON THE APPLICATION DOES NOT MATCH THE ENTRY IDENTIFIED. THE INFORMATION IS THE SAME AS I GOT OFF OF GENES RECORDS. CAN ANYBODY HELP PLEASE.

You have to order exactly as it is written in the index, ...ie. David W.LEWIS instead of the full name.

I don't know if that would make a difference or whether David W. is in fact the person you need.

Did he die after 1969?
If so, his place and date of death should show on his death certificate.

as Gwyn says you have to order as it is written so:

Lewis David W Nicholas Newcastle E. 11b 24

this is how it appears on the actual scanned image
