That was one of the first searches Gillian, but speaking personally I couldn't find an obvious match (or an Ada Beckerton either for that matter).

I know her name is Workman, sometimes children were listed under new husband/partner's name for respectability!
If you don't get that cert soon I might have to get it myself!!

Sorry Jan - I CAN be a bit frustrating..........nice to see that you have a sense of humour though..... ( you made me smile )...

I guess I will probably have to give in and get the cert

thanks again

If you do, let us know what it says won't you? I am starting to feel like an honorary member of the Workman family ... !

What you may not realise, Gillian, is the fact that the GLOSbmd website has all MMN's transcribed..........hence my reference to the anomaly.
