Hi Again

It just struck me that any records may be so recent that they will still be closed, - as in a birth in the last 100 (possibly 75) years.

The Elms is now derelict. Don't know what the council is thinking. It is quite a substantial building built by someone who was involved in the flax trade. I know a child of the people who ran it at one time.
