You don't give even one full name. Just saying your mother-in-law was a Raistrick from Idle, Bradford, who married in Manchester is so slim as to be worth nothing. Try telling us exactly WHO you are talking about, with full names, dates and places, and what you have done and discovered so far, and then we might stand a chance. If you want people to try and help you, then you should always post as full information as possible. -- Roy Stockdill Guild of One-Name Studies: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
