Hi Bryant and Andre,
George's birth certificate has arrived. As I suspected it is not the right one. This George's father is Henry and mother Anna. Henry is a cotton spinner by trade.
I was reading emails on the mailing list site and saw one about a Wax Chandler - I think Tallow and Wax may be one and the same!! Apparently the wax chandlers were quite well off; and I found a lot of wax chandlers' wills on Archives. Alas no Archibald.
Tomorrow I am visiting the local LDS Church to look through their fiche. If I can get copies of entries I will do that when I visit. If I am unable to do that locally I will contact the bigger LDS Church in South Australia and see if I can order copies through them. In the meantime I have found a set of British Vital Index Records for sale - would these be any use? Are there more records on these cd's than on IGI for example?
I'll keep you posted.
Regards,
Minack
