	Free searches can be accessed through IGI - have you registered to use it? https://www.familysearch.org/ e.g a Maud Dawson in 1911. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWKL-G9B It also has lots of birth and death details and much of the information found by the helpers here.

	Jayne ............ Yes, FamilySearch is the Church of Latterday Saints site. link below. The RECORDS section is great, lots of collections, but keep away from Collections which is user-submitted records and trees, and often very imaginative! You now have to set up an account, but it is free and seems to be safe https://www.familysearch.org/ or this one has the list of collections that they have ..... https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list
