> Thank you Caroline, Nivard and Charani for the advice. I took advantage of Ancestrys 14 day trial but I see that if I want to look at the parish births I will have to go for a more expensive subscription when the free period is over. Anyway I am a little happier as I found some new details in the earlier census's so I have something to show for my stiff neck and aching back! kind regards, Ann Davenport
