Apart from all the usual links, there is a list of the cholera victims in 1833 and a list of the inhabitants of Bliiston 1695. This has some interesting details. eg: drowned whilst collecting ice. To anyone not from this area, have a look at your town/Village. There is some great stuff out there and it gets away from just having a list of names. Happy hunting Jeanie
