Hi Doreen, Many thanks for your email and assistance with sites to search. I have been searching these, but as I have mentioned to other people trying to help, it is hard without correct names, just keep going around in circles. I do have Dad's birth details from Blackpool, but only mentions his parents names. I have made headway though and feel I am now on the right track. I thank you once again.
