Dorothy was a Burrell

You'll need to do the research using freebmd.............as we would

Amanda..................

If you can't help, it's better not to post on a person's thread...........if you're looking for help, do as MC suggests.

Hi Reggie
Looked on freebmds cant find anything obvious
I subscribed to Ancestry for 4 years but couldnt justify the cost anymore


This info is for my bro in law or I would have bought all the certs as I have for my own family

Amanda any idea how old your father is. You could get the electoral Roll on 192.com
