Many thanks once again.

Would a birth certificate give precise details of parents ie their ages or how else can I pinpoint which Robert Cottier and Jane Corlett (amongst many) I'm related too!?

Also, is there any way I can find out the date when my other side of the family moved to the Island? Charles Brown was a miller at Lezayre Mill in 1851, he had a son Edwin christened 11/5/1846 (from your Dissenters Brian) and according to "Shining by the Sea" came from England in 1842 or 1843. Is there any where else I can look or is this as close as I'm likely to get ?
