( The LDS has given us lots of free info, but from now on I believe they are only adding recent info to cd, at a cost....seems fair...but like the IGI...you never know what's going to be covered within a district))

Thanks Karen... we had a great trip.... and the weather gods did bring some cooler temps just like I asked!! 

Yes, I can't wait for the file... was wishing I had asked for Walter's as well... but probably best to see what comes out of William Allen's first...   I foolishly had myself convinced that there would something in the mail when we arrived back home.... but nada   :'(

Oooh..... yeah.... BVRI British Vital Records Index... makes sense   ::)    will get myself into that next.... Gee, I've been retired for almost 3 weeks and have been busier in those 3 weeks than I have in the past 3 years!!  How did I ever get time to do this stuff before---and without high speed?!?!?  Probably why progress was soooooo slow!!
Thanks J.J..... :)    gail

Another clue..... Just found a reference to a William Allen Layfield married to my Ethel Bauder on a family tree--(and have sent message to keeper of the tree)... says, but no reference, that Wm. Allen born Egham Surrey, England.... I also have a picture of his gravesite in England, and on the back it says -- cemetery, Egham Surrey.....   is there a site where there are cemetery transcriptions?
