Hello all I have just received the 5 CD set of the Vital Records Index for the British Isles. I have not had any luck on my own tree, so perhaps there are some lookups that I can do for someone else. Regards Gail

Hi Gail, How kind of you to offer to do lookups. I have one request, at least to begin and I fear it may prove difficult. My Great Grandfather was born in Wales but I don't have a clue where and the birthdate I have is questionable. Nonetheless, here goes: Thomas William Davies, probably born 1824 but I've also seen 1827. I know only for certain the date of his marriage in Canada: 1852 so my guess is that he arrived in Chatham, ON circa 1845 and 1850 unless he was a fast worker on arrival ! :-) His marriage records give no clue as to his parents or birthdate, only the witnesses, etc. Be warned, you probably will find many by this exact name. Thus the date of birth becomes highly important. Thanks so very much. Ron Davies Surrey, B.C.

Would this include records from Scotland? Sharon Shumate Austin, TX Gail Koppanyi wrote: > Hello all > > I have just received the 5 CD set of the Vital Records Index for the British Isles.

Hi Gail, I would be interested in anything you might find on my paternal grandfather William Henry Willcock and his family, who was born I believe in Nottingham, probably in the 1880s or 1890s. He would have left Nottingham for Swansea, Wales, possibly 1905-1910. He died in Felixstowe, England, around 1952-1953. I would also be interested in anything on my maternal grandfather Herbert Voke, who was born in Chichester, probably also in the 1880s or 1890s. I believe he had a brother Charles. He left for South Africa probably between 1910 and 1915.

Hi Gail, You are a wonderful person; if there is anyone with the last name of NEX anywhere in Great Britian, and anyone by YOULTON in the Kent/London area I would love to know.
