Hi Stan :) I have a strong feeling that's where I accessed it in the past, because I used to transcribe for them (pre-toddler days, when I had no little fingers helping me type! ;D) and so did a lot of searching around the times I uploaded completed pages. I've been there today and had no luck finding either Dorothy WAUGH or daughter Elizabeth ARMSTRONG, nothing definite anyway. The problem with these type of records is that they don't list the parents, and that's what I need with such a popular name! I'll keep searching and working through different theories until I find her, but it's not getting any easier ... sigh!! Take care, Rob.
