Thank you will snoop through info im semi limited as to how to get info as in Australia chasing inf on find my past Uk, Ancestry and Gloucestershire BDM and I know sometime it's easier to be at the place rather at a distance.

My grandfather wasn't forthcoming on his family, so it's been a slow road and double and checking info as I go.
