thanks reg yes it probably is his death,he was deceased when his daughter married in 1873.....regards Sandra

what am i doing wrong then,,as I cannot get the same info when i look for ti Sandra

If at first you do not find what you are looking for then keep the information to a minimum. For example - search for Grace with surname Wain* - this will pick up any mistranscriptions of the surname - you will see the 1851 has been transcribed as WAINRIGHT - not WAINWRIGHT. Or do a search for a Grace born in Altcar. Or search for the surname WAIN*RIGHT - this will pick up Wainwright and Wainright. The use of the asterisk (*) is a wild card - which means it can be equal to anything (or nothing!)

Thanks Elaine,great tip will remember that in future,,will help keep the blood pressure low,lol Sandra
