[QUOTE=Margaret Pilkington;1272533]Taddy you could join the genealogy site FamilySearch.
It is Free and it has a good database.
It is run by the Mormon church but you can join without being a member of the church.
Here is a link

https://www.familysearch.org/united-kingdom/

I have found family members on here when other sites have failed to flag them up.
It is good to have another option for searches and it is a good way to check information and cross referencing of information.
Do it Taddy…you have nothing to lose. It is FREE

Thanks for that Marge, the My Heritage site that I have been using for the past couple of years or so flag up any matches from other Genealogy sites such as the "Family Search" site that you mention, I have found many sources of reference on Family Search and other similar sites but as you say it won't do me any harm to click on to and join Family Search and print out any useful information.
