Well how would you know who you could trust to do the searching for you and the cost may be prohibitive

If it's a current address you are looking for try putting the enquiry with some names and area possible birth etc details

If this is regarding your search for Linda as per

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/trying_to_find/linda%
20bennett%20(parris%20)/thread/1224421

Then paying a genealogist won't be of much use probably, except that they will follow all the steps you've been advised to take and will charge for their time doing so as well as the charges for the certs mentioned.

If you follow the advice given on the other thread on how to buy the marriage cert then we can look to see if any of David's family can be found.

Christina you find your own thread just by clicking on 'My threads' over on the left

please just go back to that thread

if you need more explanation about the two things that were suggested, someone will be happy to give it, for instance how exactly to do what Valerie suggested, and there must be someone you know who could help you

Thanks Joonie :-) I'd cut it in two so it didn't stretch the page (knowing that most regulars could C & P it).
