Many thanks - what I really wanted - the county maps showing details of parishes

What a fantastic minefield of information - very useful, especially when it is free.

When you have identified a possible living relative, you can try looking in directory enquiries or the electoral role such as 192 or on Find My Past for their address and/or telephone number. Sending a polite letter or making a telephone call [which I always follow up with a letter] often gains results.
