Many thanks Kirsten for those links, I'm always interested to find new sources of information.

I'm now trying a different approach and looking for descendants of my Mother's extended family to see if they have any cases in their families. No luck as yet.

Anyway, this "family reseach bug" has bitten me badly and opened up a whole new world to me!

My thanks to everyone who has replied to my original post and good luck to you all!
