So pleased for you Ann :) glad you found your mum. I too have found it easier to do a general search.. I can usually tell from the address then which will be the right one.. if not I just look at each address until I see the right family.

I have at last started to solve a mystery that has been bugging me... my great grandparents had a 2 year old child living with them in 1901, unrelated as far as I knew... couldn't understand at all who she was. I have now found her with her family in 1911 so will now be able to investigate that family back further to see who they were.
I was cursing originally thinking I would have to wait until I could afford to pay for the info... but now I know!
