Jenny, Can I just say a big 'THANKYOU' for all your trouble and it is sincerely appreciated. I have printed the details off and will no plug away at this information and trace the links. Have you been to the Gloucester record office? I went just the once and was totally overwhelmed by it all and didnt know where to start. Need I say I am to scared to go again. Any advise would be appreciated. Hope your enjoying the sunshine where you are. Regards Sue
