Hi all :)

Having just been paid some cash for a bit of private work :), ( hope gorden brown aint reading ::),)  I am thinking of buying the National Buriel Index priced at 40 quid for a 4 cd set, wondering if anybody out there has got these, and are they all they are said to be, 

Live long and prosper :)
Pete.

Hi Peter
I have the Second Edition (don't know if there is a Third or Fourth yet)...which is by no means up to date.

It is very good, but doens't have much Lancashire on it, which is a bit of a pain for me.

I have done many look ups on it, and had many disappointments.

If I were you I think I would wait until the next edition comes out (if it isn't already).

Meanwhile, ask us wot 'av got it, to do look ups for you  :D

Kind regards

It's got Monmouth, Glams and Montgomery on it, but I'm not sure how much it covers.

If you give me some names I'll take a look for you.

love

Hi Su

I have rather a lot!!!

Could you check out BEATON (or could be BETTON) buried Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire.

Thank you very much
