Aha, thanks Mike.

I recall you told me this in the past, that explains your use of the "GR" then, all makes sense now. Sorry, have had a bit of a crazy-mixedup day here, all in a tizz !

Yes agree re the Ancestry transcriptions, as we've discussed on the forum in the past - I've seen some absolute corkers. In fact I'd forgotten I currently have a FindMyPast free-trial subscription, I need to set them some challenges and see how they perform.

atb Jeff.

ps please find Nora on the 1901, thanks ! I'm also puzzled why I cannot find any sign of Samuel Edwards' 1906 Marriage on the usual websites (PRs, FreeBMD, GlosBMD). Not disputing it happened, just don't like unanswered puzzles !
