Always advisable to try and validate any information that has been given to you.  So easy to assume the other person's research is correct.

Many thanks for all your help - my head is spinning !

I got the wrong date from Family Search online - living in Queensland I have found that the library facilities for research are not as good as they could be.

Thanks again all

I always treat submitted information found on familysearch with a great deal of caution.  I only search the extracted parish records and there are errors there as well as will occur in any paper based records that are transcribed.  

I will now climb down from my soap box

Cheers
Cando -  who lives in a remote area with no library within cooee...not even a small local one.

 I tend to agree there  Cando - I find myself struggling a lot here at times
