Thanks again. > > Carol Ann> No doubt I shall be accused of nitpicking, but could I just point out to everyone that the correct term is local REGISTER Office, not registry? And the proper title of the GRO is the General REGISTER Office. If you don't believe me, go to their website. It is a very common error amongst the general public and even amongst those in authority (we have road signs in Watford, Herts, where I live, for instance, pointing to "Watford Registry Office") but I wouldn't expect family historians to make it. -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: 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."
