Thanks Linda, have looked at most of these except www.cafre.ac.uk. Have looked at Campbells/Moutrays/Leslies and the Lindsays in various on line books. /Looked at "The Lindesays of Loughry, County Tyrone" : / by H.H. Greaves,...etc. Have looked at all I could think of before asking. Look like it's a visit to NLI and PRONI.......but The Ulster Dairy School for girls seems more inviting!! I could always start recording historical data on these instead? Names/Addresses/Phone Numbers....(for future Genealogy purposes!!) Thanks again for your help! Dave.

Wow, you've done a lot of work, Dave. Maybe others will benefit from this suggestion. When I'm searching like this, I do not 'cherry pick' -- ie look for The Record. I gather anything that might be relevant. Like all the other individuals with the same surnames, all the marriages, etc., and I put them in a spreadsheet or table in Word or Open Office, with the source, of course -- a brief sourcename that is an index to my bibliography with the full reference. What you find is later on stuff is significant that wasn't before. Also sometimes looking at all this data you see patterns that can suggest things.
