Thank you all for your suggestions and comments. Jean, thank you for the comments and links. Victor, I think I am going to go with Sculcoates, East Yorkshire, England. It would be more accurate to include UK but I don't like it for some reason (hard cheese, love that, Nivard, but then I often enjoy your turn of phrase). England in the US? New England? This is seldom listed as a precise location. Have to look that one up if not. Most towns it seems are named for places in England, Indian names or people. Half my mother's family is from New England, from England - maybe York but then no one really knows - I found one reference, just said York no idea if it meant York itself or Yorkshire and we are talking 1630s anyway so that is another whole smoke. I originally had many references that were, Sculcoates, Yorkshire plus many other variations and I just changed the lot to Sculcoates, Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire yesterday. I will change them all now. It would actually be incorrect to say Sculcoates, Kingston-upon-Hull perhaps because so far, they are all well within the 1837 to 1937 century. Before coming to the Hull "area" they were in Lincolnshire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire and West Yorkshire!! The four youngest aunts and uncles born after 1937 were born in Hull. The first seven were Sculcoates. But, thinking about it, some of these references are from the BMD districts,haha, might they not have lived there???? Perhaps I need to check the electoral rolls. Is someone born where they are registered? That is what I put. But I know they were all born at home. Thanks again. Kathryne
