Hi again M P

Apologies for the slow reply but I've been away for a few days.......

Outstanding response! The Gloucestershire BMD with Mother's surname confirms the family grouping for me, many thanks indeed. I was aware of this site but have found results a bit hit and miss for the the Forest of Dean. In this case however it came up trumps.

I also have a message from Craig that I need follow up on.......

Some of my Beachs are wandering into Monmouth and Dixton and I'm finding BMD data much harder to find. Do you happen to have a preferred site for this area?

thanks again Brian
