cheers Tony thanks for that, will have to google and see if i can get any pics of the place.
i have been to scotland, wales, but never Ireland, think that will have to change.

hi ther, got the birth cert, the one gadget gave vol 08 page 514, but just checked my mothers wedding cert and it states her fathers name as william C Hendren, where as the 1901 birth cert just says william hendren.

have i sent for the correct birth cert do you think?


cheers

Hi James,

Meant to say   My husbands grandfather's birth reg, baptism all had the name William, yet when he married (twice) he had a middle name John, I noticed on his baptism that his godparent was John.  Another of my husbands ancestors converted to Catholicism and suddenly had a middle name of her godmother's first name.  Wonder if this is the case with William.

Hope you have a lovely Christmas.
