	Only about 30% of records survived a WW2 bombing raid, so don't be too surprised if nothing can be found

	Gawd - it takes forever !!! :-( Although there are 51 images - most of them are empty and they have even taken images of the backs of every page, even if nothing on it !!! I have managed to save about 20 images which have something written on them. There is not much info on there really but if you would like me to send them to you, please send me a pm with your direct e-mail address and I will send them through later. Dea x
