But a useful reminder that it's alway essential to look at the original document for yourself. Never trust anything you find online unless it's an image of an original document.

Very sensible advice - well said.

That's extremely helpful. Thank you all, very much.

By the time I've digested it, I suspect I'll be able to mark this thread 'completed'

Rosie,

Sorry, somehow I missed your last posting.

Yes, that must be the right birth, which is confirmed by the '71 family and by Janet's marriage to John HENDRIE. Thank you.
