Hi Helen, Thanks for your e-mail. I don't think this MELROSE fits in, but if you don't mind I will keep it and who knows maybe when I get more info. I can use it. Just out of interest my maternal g'fathers name is SCOTT (Thomas), and I think his parent's names are William SCOTT and Racheal (nee I don't know). my g'father lived, worked (at the docks), and died in Sunderland, Co.Durham, I am presuming he was born there and his parents are also from there, I'm afraid that at the moment I don't have too many more details. Again, thanks for your info. and if you think I can be of any help to you, please don't hesitate to ask.
