Hi All, Thanks again for your help. It was a bit of a shot in the dark with this Caroline but so much did fit........not enough though. She married a Henderson and I know all the details there......her father ( adoptive) was Thomas Reed of Allandale, Hexham ....there is one there 1901 but too old. You never know I might get something via the workhouse.....I manged once before elsewhere. Im told she was born Oct 1901= 1902 as you can imagine that nearrows ir down to a few thousand! Many thanks all. Regards, Kevin.
