Heather, Cheers for that site. Didnt even know it existed. WIll remember to bring my notes in on my troublesome Eastenders and see if I cant sort them out. Do you know if their Parish Registers cover all events i.e. baptism/marriage/burial? Thanks Zoe

Ta Will stick that in favourites cos am sure it will be needed the more digging I do! Lou

Lou, I only used it once to find one of the Hansons - if you do use it do a blanket search because 30 entries would cost the same as 1! That is, put the surname in and bring up everyone with it! Its on www(.)parishregister(.)com/

Heather Not had to use this before but my London side are now popping up all over the place so will keep a note of it. Do you have the address? Lou
