They also have BMD's

If you'd like to have some help, just ask, but bear in mind that we won't be using GR to look for info

Hi Lillian

Welcome to the Boards


Sometimes it is a matter of entering too much information!

If the person has 2 forenames, try entering only one, or one and the initial of the second.


Also ..... records are sometimes better on other sites, eg, births etc are often better found on www.freebmd.org.uk ............... a free site :-)

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
