Hi Doug, Thanks for the compliment regarding the map, glad to be of assistance. Regarding your query of Cheshire, Brett Langston of our own Cheshire Family History Society has a Web Site located at http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/blangston/genuki/chs.htm which lists lots and lots of information, including all of the Cheshire Parishes. Have fun!!
