Thanks anyway. Seems that was only digs. Who were the tracing agency you worked for? I did it for two peopl at work, one an adoptee the other a long term hospital patient, ad get them in touch with their families. Sadly I know he's dead 50+ years ago, but I didn't know him. He was the family black sheep of his day, as I am of mine! Our familt don't like non conformists. o you know if the Register GEneral does on line searchs as Register house in Edinburgh do, at a cost. I'm intrigued by Alice Hibbins, is that a common local name as its very uncommon in Scotland, only 2 people have it. That's the surname, not the full monicker! Regards and thanks. Good luck with the wedding. I'm engaged to do it again. 12 years and I still didn't learn, if as you say Leo and Alice lived together they must have been at the cutting edge in the early 1950's!!M
