Hi Jo, I know that you could marry if you were of mixed religion but whether you had to convert or not I cannot tell you. In saying that, I have come across many marriages where the spouses are noted to be of a different religion but, the children are baptised in one religion or the other and stay with the church they are baptised in. As to rootsireland, if you want to wait a couple of days my subscription renews and I could check for the people you are looking for. The records on rootsireland are transcriptions of the parish registers that are on microfilm. The only thing I find about the site is that because of different name spellings (depending on whom recorded the record), you could be on site all day and still not find a record that is in the parish registers. Also, having done transcribing of various registers, they don't seem to record some of the harder to read entries. I am glad to look if you like. Thank you for the info about SA. I contacted ancestry.gov.za about a death cert which should take about 10 weeks, a bit slow but if I get it that would be a start. Le me know if I can help further, Kim
