Thanks for reminding everyone. Having been guilty of putting a wrong date I know how frustrating it can be for those researching for you. One thing I have learnt is don't post requests when tired. That's when mistakes happen the most, especially when you are dealing with same names down through the generations!!!
Another tip I learnt was when asking for help always put where you have already asked as often information there is very valuable to those trying to help here and vice versa when asking elsewhere on other sites.
Just my 2 cents worth from someone who is not as experienced as some but always willing to learn
