Hi Mandy :) Would the page number be "FC 544243"? That's the only number on the certificate but that could just be their number from this year, not 1848, couldn't it? Wait, hang on ... The number in the first column is 389, is THAT the number you mean? I didn't mention this in my first post either, but the registration district is/was Lanchester, birth in the sub-district of Lanchester, County of Durham. Durham is so confusing, isn't it? I'm so glad I've got an English gentleman teaching me some things (not a list member) because I'd be thoroughly lost by now!!! Take care, Rob.

Would give you a name possibly.

So I'm possibly looking for TWO births?!? Oh crumbs, ONE was bad enough!! lol Thanks Ruth, I'll definitely keep that in mind, because it was definitely written down as "4h pm" on the certificate. I assumed it was meant to be something like 4 hours pm, but could I be wrong? > > Take care, > > Rob. > > > ==== ENG-DURHAM Mailing List ==== > Browse the ENG-DURHAM archives http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/eng-durham > ==== ENG-DURHAM Mailing List ==== This list is only as good as you make it.
