DUR parishes such as Lamesley, Heighington & Darlington. I think some Kelloe records are on the British vital records CD1 (there is also now a CD2) which is available from the LDS. More information on BVR here <http://productsupport.familysearch.org/supportroot/Eng/Frameset_Products .asp?ReqPg=Productask.asp&Product=BRITISL&FAQ=BritishIslesVR2&DisplayName =British+Isles+Vital+Records+Second+Edition&Color=green> There is some information on the parish of Kelloe here on GENUKI. <http://website.lineone.net/~pjoiner/genuki/DUR/Kelloe/index.html> >i was also told they moved to somewhere like Beadale, does anyone know >of this - is it nearby and what parish would it be? > >thanks! Bedale is in North Yorkshire. <http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/NRY/Bedale/index.html> Probably your first step is to obtain Alfred SAYERS birth certificate to confirm where he was born, and then work back with marriage certificates of his parents etc. Would Thomas have been around in 1901 - perhaps you could find him on the census? <http://www.census.pro.gov.uk/> Hope this helps. -- Helen Oram
