Police Constable Cook - now who on earth is that? Are you the policeman who comes in when the crew have lock ins? Oh by the way ParishRegister(.)com If you go to the site and want to see other stuff, click on Shop and then all items in the shop - I think there is about 2000 cds of historical directories and books, maps etc.
