	I have just discovered that Overleigh Cemetry is searchable - thought it worth mentioning in case anyone else had missed it. Found a few unknown relatives there - children that had died young and never made the censuses. Also Freemen of Chester and Railway staff searchable too. Go to the official Cheshire gov site and then record office and catalogue and indexes.

	I noticed this a few weeks ago, its been briliant so far, found so many of mine! Chester's website is really excellent, I've also ordered quite a few wills from there for my lot. Makes me wish Liverpool would get on the ball and provide such good online stuff! I emailed inquiring about a map of the graveyar though and they just said it would be expensive because there would be a lot of copying involved; so although I now have lots of grave refs, no idea where they will be in the graveyard.

	Yes, the Chester County Website is brilliant - I too have had loads of Wills, which have been absolutely invaluable. OC
