Thank you very much for looking those up, Janet. The baptisms of the children you name will be very useful [cheaper that getting the birth certificates!!]; I'll certainly keep an eye on the opc site. Oh, wouldn't the 1921 census be so useful?

I realise this doesn't help you much, but thought the names might ring some bells or give you some ideas how to proceed further. Good luck! Janet C
