Thanks, dont see her though...shes dissapeared  the only one I can see that kind of matches would have made her about 14 when she married in 1872..that wouldnt be correct would it? When I asked what the 'legal age' was in 1872 I was told 21...
In 1911 she states 50 but in 1901 it looks like 46. Her husband died age 50 that same year, so either could be correct...im stuck.

It has been a while, but in the pas, I used the chap at this site:

if I couldn't get the info cheaper any other way.

Always found him to be very efficient and helpful.

Out of interest there is apparently an LDS FHC 10 minutes from me here in Spain...what would I expect to find there? is it just another way of searching their own site or can you access more information there or original documents? I wouldnt want to pluck up the courage to go just to find its what i can view in my own home at my leisure.

Hi -
I use my local LDS quite a lot.  Over here in the UK you do need to phone in advance and "book" a place.  They are only open on certain days and for certain hours.  Places on the machines to view the films & microfiche can get pretty busy.
I would also suggest you have a look at London Family History Website (which is what I do).  If you go on to the website and look at the mid/right corner of the site there is a section that says"Browse Microfilm Catalog",  you can click on to the Country  you want, this will then lead you to Countyof choice, this I think leads on to a section for what they call Unspecific films like Directories, Land & property etc. there are also films listed by Parish.  If you click on your parish of choice you are then looking at what films are held for that parish and it will specifically say what is on that film and give you a film number.  This is what you will need to quote when ordering the films.  I never use the actual London FHC but I find their catalog easy to use and pretty indicative of what is available to order.

Also, the LDS have just started a new system where the film will cost you more to hire but you are allowed to keep it out longer, I think this has only been in effect now about 2 months so don't know if there are any "gremlins" in the system.  I think the general feeling was that films would probably take longer to circulate around with these new rules in place.  Sometimes you order a film and it comes in quite quickly other times it could take ages.  I think sometimes they have to wait for a copy to be sent from Salt Lake.

Anyway if you have a look at the catalogue it should give you an idea about what is available.  Don't worry they are pretty helpful at these Family History Centres

on the subject of GRONI lookups, I could really do with some information on a will registered at GRONI. Like other posters, I'm not sure if it's my ancestor or if I'll get anythign useful but I would dearly love someone to look at a will of a Rodger Grant who died at Mullaghmore 1861. Will registered 1862.

I don't know if there's much to be gleaned from a look at the will but if there was it might confirm if I'm on the right track. Can anyone help on that?
Maggie
