I've even done a DVD interview for them which I understand will be appearing on their website at some stage. Certainly I would not breach any agreement by sending an image to another person. However, on this occasion I felt justified in citing a few facts from the 1911 census because it was vital in establishing that I had the right person, especially the number of years the couple had been married. This, coupled with my researches at FreeBMD and in the other censuses, rounded off a trail through the records to point the original enquirer in the right direction. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
