Member Since: August 2005 Posts: 46 Send Message	My wifes grand mother is Dorcas. she can only ques that she was about 7 or 8 years old when she died on bonfire night. So the date would be round about 1928 - 1930

	Hi Peter, The one for Dorcas Looks right But I am unsure about George William Parkers (there a quite a few of them ) So I would just send for the Dorcas one and see who is the informant on that one. All the best Barbara
