Thank you. I thought I would try Bedfordshire because they left from Leighton Buzzard and I got mixed up with my County's it is the other family that were in Bozeat (The Gardiners The family my grand mother married into.) Yes I do have access to Ancestry. Not had much success there yet still very new at this. I will try the free BDM site thanks.
