You'll need to report it as Admin has to do something .

I'll PM you my e-mail and you could send it to me and I'll try to Imageshack it to get around the problem temporarily.

It's a tricky one, Tracey  :-\

I'm now looking at maps but can't see anything at the moment. Can you send me the page so that I can have a look at more of the writing, please.

Have you got the family on other censuses?

A long shot - but could it be a mispronunciation of Torphichen :

I'm sure Gnu will keep me right !  ;D
