As I said in my original post, I am new to this site. I put the name of my father into the message board search and got quite excited when I had found some data. I didn't look at what country or descendant it came from!!

When I received my first reply, I wondered why it was from someone in USA but I thought ok why not!! But as the replies came in I realised I had made a mistake.

Having said that, I have been given wonderful advice on how to continue my search.
