Hi Charani Well if you have £42 to spare, all you need to do is to apply again, giving his name and date of birth and tick the option "Information on individual named". Haven't a claue why you should get details of someone else who wasn't at the address that you gave, unless you gave her names and DOB, and they just went by those. I think you applied before they had set out this application form, so they might have been a bit vague as to what they were actually supplying.... Anyway I have sent off the details of my grandmother and asked for details of up to 9 other residnats at the address - so we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the clarification. It's the above clause that's going to cause me the problem with finding where my father was at the time. What puzzles me slightly is why they didn't give my father's data yet did give me my grandmother's when neither were at the addresses I gave. I guess I'll have to wait until FMP or Ancestry get the database to find him :)) -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BRISTOL_AND_DISTRICT-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I'd have a job to justify spending that much, esp as I could spend it elsewhere more profitably. > Haven't a claue why you should get details of someone else who wasn't at the > address that you gave, unless you gave her names and DOB, and they just went > by those.

I did give my grandmother's full name and DoB, as I did for my father. They should have been able to find him, esp as he's the only one in the family with that combination of names. After all, they found my grandmother easily enough and her surname is a common one, ranked at 47 (IIRC) by Talesein and I didn't ask for any information on her sister and brother in law. Yes, I did apply before they decided to charge and ask people to complete a form. > Anyway I have sent off the details of my grandmother and asked for details > of up to 9 other residnats at the address - so we'll see what happens. It'll be interesting to know what you receive, without any identifying details particularly if still living people are included, if you wish to share it. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
