I have to take issue with your description of your grandmother as 'old'..........................she is barely four years older than me, and probably younger than some of the helpers on these boards..................lol!

Nice one, PH.......................it isn't on freebmd, although other births on the Page are, which is strange.

And I didn't actually check on FMP - which I should have thought of. It was a long day yesterday!
