You are correct that it is an index which gives names, ages and birth town hence the reason, in this case, I stated that no birth town was shown. I do understand the differences between indices and the full census, all I was doing was passing on what information I have access to. In future I will state that it is only an index and only reply if no-one else has. Ian _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
