Linda A big thankyou. Have no idea what Myton YKS is supposed to be but I know where West Rounton is. It looks like Nughton on the 71 census Shelly

Hi Linda. Sorry my reply has been so long coming I had to stop to revise and take and exam. Now its over I see you have had a great result with my Gustard's and confirmed a whole family for me. Especially Susannah! Thank you again so much. Angela (Keith's daughter)

Hi Linda Thanks for the look-up for John Weston. The only other info I have on him is that he was a miner and his father was also called John- which probably isnt much help!- and that he later lived in Sacriston where several of his children were born. Other children were apparently born in Annfield and Ushaw Moor which is info from the 1881 census. Would appreciate any help you can give. Regards Cheryl

Hi Linda, I am sorry I did not realise. Thanks for your help. Gail

Gail - the disks are not indexed and run to 5 disks in 1871! That's why I ask for an area of a town, to make the search a little easier for me. Even a village can run to 200 pages, which is a lot to go through. Linda

Hi Linda, Thank you so much for your help. I am not convinced that they are the correct ones. Could I ask you to look for the whole of Durham? Gail
