Dear All
Thank you so much for your advice and knowledge - patience and perseverence are obviously the virtues required by the family tree historian.

Indeed, but part of the learning process in this great hobby is in knowing what you can find online, and how you can find it. I spent a lot of time when I first started, searching on Ancestry for people born post-1920, and at the time I didn't realise that the data for the period ~1920-1983 isn't fully indexed on a computer database, and you have to find them by looking through the index pages by hand. Luckily, there's always someone in these forums who is there to give a helping hand, and I'm very pleased to see that you have a result.
