Hello List, Thanks to Carol and John for their replies, again ! All of the information sent to me has been filed away for future reference. I was trying to find out if James HOCKLEY was born at Ham in Wiltshire in 1781 or 1791. Are there fiche or transcripts available for the 1851 census, or is there just the index ? I have recently received a gedcom tracing the ROBERTs of Overton back to John RABBATT born 1590 at Kingsclere. Are there any other RABB*T researchers on the list ? Thanks again, Ian in France
