There is a business website called LINKEDIN- heaps of people post their work life there There is also 192.com - they have recent UK census results ( in case they went back ) - I think I found Yvonne on that there are some free searches on that - but I think there is a small subscription charge after a time - not sure as I only use the freebies:-)) I have got a bit busy at work so can't do much to help for a few days, but keep me posted , esp if you can do some library research Cheers Jocelyn Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
