Hi Jo and Patsy, Thanks to Patsy's suggestion to check the Dorset OPC page, I have found confirmation of two brothers and a sister for my grandfather. Although I am not fully active in my search, it shows that to follow a suggestion sometimes brings in results. Again many thanks Mike Jolliffe -----Original Message----- From: Jo [mailto:granny1@westnet.com.au] Sent: 24 July 2006 09:31 To: ENG-WILTSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-WIL] STONE Hi Patricia Could they have been married at a different parish. I can't seem to find my STONE's in any of the Bourton parishes. They aren't in the marriage. He is not in the baptism or the deaths. I know my gg grandfather was born in 1826 in Bourton and he isn't even on there. Any suggestions. thankyou...Jo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia O'Shea" <pkoshea@xtra.co.nz> To: <ENG-WILTSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 1:12 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-WIL] STONE > Hi Jo - have you looked at the OPC site for Bourton? > http://www.dorset-opc.com/ for the Dorset OPC page which then lists the > parishes. > Apologies if you have already explored this. > Cheers, Patsy - New Zealand. > > > > > Hi List > > > > My name is Jo Lowick.

No trouble Mike - sharing information and sources is what these lists are about I think. The Dorset OPC page is incredible as are all the other volunteer (and free) sites available. I am grateful to them all.
