hello Sue Further to Michael's advice I would like to add that Herefordshire record office are about to search the 1840 Tithe map for some information for me. Their costs are £20 per hour . I am hoping the search will take no longer than 1/2 hour. I mailed my request to their office and we have moved on from there to a search.
