Kayak, I’ve never been able to help you as I don’t have an FMP sub, but are you aware they now have a 3 month sub. Might save you a lot of time hanging around waiting for an answer.

Ok Erika, thanks anyway.

Thanks AG, I 've managed to track down the Giles side of this family, what I really
would like are the details for the 1848 marriage so if anyone can help with this I would be most grateful.
