Jess After looking again I agree. The line at the top of 'N' is one of the tick off marks from checking the page. Good eye's gal. Victor

Thanks. Another dead end. Why do people have to be called John Smith? I am looking for the father of Mary Ann Smith, b Carlton Beds c 1836, married Samuel Robinson 1856, living Olney 1861....the search goes on. Peter
