How on earth did you think of doing that????? I am in awe of you geniuses on here. Ok, what would you look for Elizabeth Ellen Horstead - death record after 1901. Cant find it anywhere. Tried all variations, just what would you put in PLEASE.

Heather, We're not guessing surnames. We're looking for some part of the first name and the place of birth. Crista

Christine, I've emailed you. Crista

Crista - every day you come up with some spooky lookups - it's not natural! ;o) You can talk it down by saying, "I only do this ..." but there's something very odd going on!

hi, me again!! done it! i was only pressing the wrong button!!!! anyway i've got what i was after all thanks to you!! chris.

Geoff, It wasn't me this time it was Spooky Sharpie! :-) Crista

Lol..... well i've never been called spooky before !!! thought this one was quite easy having an unusual forename, just searched for Carry, no surname, and went through them till i found what looked right, i do like a challenge though!!!
