I have an Edward DAVIES born abt 1802, who in the 1851 census for Ruardean, GLS was listed as being born in "Hereford"... not clear whether its the town or county. One distinguishing thing about this gentleman was that he was an engineer (not a common profession), and he married a Ruardean girl with the first name Benedictus (born Ruardean abt 1708). Can anyone guide me in the best way to conduct Hereford city research ? Are there on-line indexes of christenings ? I'm trying to avoid having to go through the film for every Hereford parish looking for the family. Gary Mason Calgary __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
