That's great! Wish you hadn't said though, as I was about to go to bed so must resist the temptation to sneak a look.  ;D ;D

Think I've found who I was looking for, one of my problems. He's in salvAtion army hostel in b'ham but the year later he's in Walsall one where he died. He's been put ask general dealer maker but it's actually market so I've sent a correction as well. I still need to allow a year either side of birth year it gives although it's probably correct but gives me a birth month and day which hopefully is accurate to get a birth cert. He's hopefully registered under blake , could be Richardson, wood or whatever his mother's maiden name is. Good job I'm on days off from tomorrow but the three weeks of waiting for this cert will be agony but I will probably after leave it more open!

Right, off to the library in a bit. I spent a few credits on households back in November but there are so many more I want to look at.

I get the feeling Findmypast might be a bit overwhelmed today!

It will be nice to actually download the images of the pages I photographed at TNA when I went.

The photos werent't the best in terms of quality because of screen size and lighting but we all have to make do with what's available at the time.
