Could it be that your person of interest was outside the range permitted to be displayed on the BDM site? 1976 is less than 50 years ago. Was your person of interest born less than 80 years ago? Just wondering Graham Hoult Kirwee, Canterbury PS I have submitted a number of corrections and omissions to BDM. They have been happy to accept them :-)
