Hello Carole Glad I was some help. If you ever want to know what areas are covered by a particular registration district on the BMD index go to this section of the GENUKI website. I use it quite a lot. http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/ Regards Carole PHIL SMITH <phil@pontypool648.freeserve.co.uk> wrote: Tue, 19 Jun 2007 15:51:10 +0100 Hi Carole, Many thanks.
