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!

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!
