Hi Valerie, It is my pleasure to share the information. You volunteers and the rest of the listers are very helpful, so share and share alike! Funnily enough, I wondered if any of the listers might be present so I had a quick look at the sign-in sheet but couldn't recognise any names. Will be going again in the not too distant future so we might bump into each other. My next step is to try and get beyond Joseph Horrobin born 1793 in Manchester. He married Betty Warburton on 4th Sept 1815 at St Peter's Church, Bolton. If anyone out there can help with suggestions as to the next step I should take, I would be extremely grateful. regards Roy
