Good suggestion, Judy. Thank you. The only problem is that although I know their years of birth, I do not know the exact date of their baptisms and I don't know how much searching the local record office will do. Worth a try though.

If you have the date the photocopies shouldn't cost more than a couple of quid. You usually have to sign a copyright form as well. Judy On 28 Mar 2006, at 22:53, Wendy Lewis wrote: >Big Ask, I know.
