I wished to thank everyone for the fantastic response. I did not expect anything so soon! Yes I had done my research for Free BDM and thankyou to Tim for your effort. I would not have asked without at least making the effort myself before I asked. If I can assist anyone with some lancs or chesire items, I have several resources for my own family tree who belonged in that area. Unfortunatley my resources on Durham Co, is zilch. Anyway please contact me off list. Again thanks so much to all and now I will see where the info leads me, but I think he might have to spend some pennies to buy certificates. I know it cost me heaps for my own family history, but so lovely to have! Lynn Cheshire Cat in OZ
