OK so perhaps all the numbers are part of the reference number! PUDE Joseph James 11/127-2705 PUDE Mary 11/127-2705 That's just two of the pages on the site... Looking nationwide on freebmd, the first birth on there is 1838 in Frome. Thereafter the name is mainly found in the London area, South Shields, Co Durham and Newcastle, Northumberland. hope that helps. Jan
