Dear Gus, Liz, Mike and everyone else Sorry for my late reply here, but thank you for everyone who has responded to my query and taking the time to do so. I do appreciate it, and glad of a list such as this one. At least it did not send me on a wild goose chase to North Yorks. Mike, thanks for the transcription re 1861 census - shows commercial sites have their limitations. Interestingly, Alice's place of birth is given as Nairn. The only Nairn I'm able to locate is the one a few miles from Inverness. Does such a place exist in Worcs, before I attempt to track down an 1861 image? Alison http://www.alisonbryan.com/notes
