Thank you Annette, I have this one, and yes it does look like a possible. Now the  :-[ thing about it all is that I have copies of most of the people you have all been talking about. But I have never put them all down together to look at. I have always seen them as individuals and siblings have never been a strong point for me, I have tended to go straight down the line. You live and learn by your mistakes. You can actually see it when they are laid side by side. My filling will have to take new approach.
Thank you all.
Rootschat.com is one to be recommended.

When checking original entries I find it helpful to look at siblings as well as there may be occupation for father or abode details to be found - gives a clearer picture of the family if there and/or may help to confirm you have the right family if there is more than one with same name. If you've not already looked at them Wills can be useful too. It would also be worth searching the Bedford and Luton Archives catalogue
