hi sue thanks for the speedy response, I have worked from my grandmother upwards as best i can, I have used various sources for my information I have tried to avoid using other peoples tree's ( done this on my mothers side and i couldnt figure out my original findings and had to start all over ). Where I have used other peoples findings I have looked at the records myself to " confirm ". It's really difficult being in Australia and not being able to research in person, my parents have just returned from a UK trip and fingers crossed they managed to look at some of the graves etc for me.
