Hi Katrina, Sorry, there's nothing listed and I've just noticed that Hampshire has under 1,000 records for the whole county!! Thank you for your kind offer for Ancestry, I'll bear it in mind. I'm sorry I couldn't help. Yvonne

Hi Yvonne, Could you check the following for me if you have a spare moment (though with all these lookups I doubt you will have!) Walter Gabriel McKay - died approx 1910 - 1915 in Hampshire. Specifically Portsea, Portsmouth or Southsea. Also Fanny Louisa McKay died after 1898 but before 1910 in same place as her husband. Both would have been in their late 20's to early 40's. Also, do you have a John Lambert Burns died between 1881 and 1901? He was in the RN and may have died anywhere but he lived in Hampshire. If there is anything I can lookup for you on Ancestry.com in return then just email me the details! :) Best Wishes, -Kat

Thanks Yvonne. Will try Marjorie

Hi Pippa Cromer isn't included in the Norfolk records. There are over 150 Mayes listed mainly for East Dereham. If you know of any other places I can look for you or I can mail them all to you if you'd like them. Yvonne

Marjorie If you go to www(.)ffhs(.)org(.)uk/General/Projects/NBI(dot)htm you can read all about it. Has price details, you can order online and gives the coverage for each county. If you can't get there with the above addy just type National Burial Index into a search engine. Yvonne

Yvonne. Could you tell me where you bought the national burial records and the price.? it seems a worthwhile purchase. marjorie

Thanks anyway!

Hi Yvonne! Do the CDs cover Norfolk. If so could you look for a Gilbert Mayes, died between 1881 and 1891 in Cromer, Norfolk, Indeed any deaths for Mayes in Cromer would be helpful (if there's not too many!) as my family didn't move from there for over a hundred years! Thanks, Pippa.

Hi Yvonne, Thanks for looking it was a long shot anyway she's a very illusive person, thanks again Sue

Hi Kathryn I didn't find anything for Warwickshire but there lots in Lincolnshire!! Sorry I couldn't help. Yvonne

Hi Is it possible for you to do some Warwickshire look-ups please? They seem to have congregated around the Aston/Birmingham/Edgbaston regions, if that's any help. The name I'm interested in is Herrick (which is quite unusual for this area, it seems): John - died post 1877 Alice - died between 1891 and 1901 and would have been between the ages of 7 and 17 Alice - died post-1901 and was over 40 Frederick - died post-1891 William - died post-1901 and was also over 40 Sorry that's quite vague, hopefully the rarity of the name there will help.

Hi Stephanie Sorry, there's nothing listed I'm afraid. 1900 records are quite sparse, but worth a try anyway. Yvonne

I would be very grateful if you could look in the Index to see if my grandfather is listed. his name was Carl Berger, he died November 1918 in the Middlesborough area and was about 38 when he died. Many thanks

Hi Sue, There's nothing listed I'm afraid. The 1900s are very patchy. Sussex isn't covered at all and Kent has only 16,000 records for the whole county, but it's always worth a try isn't it. Sorry I couldn't help on this one. Yvonne

Hi Claire, I'm sorry but Bolton isn't on the discs. Sorry I couldn't help. Yvonne

Hi Irene, Have emailed you with the results. Yvonne

Hi Yvonne, Could you look up Eliza Jane adams (fomally De Meza) died around 1926 buried Rusthall East Sussex/Kent. Thanks Sue

Thank you Yvonne, May I ask for HURST in Bolton? I guess your kindess is keeping you very busy and its very much appreciated by us all, many thanks Claire

Hi Shelagh I'm sorry, there's nothing I'm afraid. The 1900s are very thin.The records seem to be best for the 1800s. Yvonne

Thanks Yvonne I think u have been on all day like me LOL, my eyes are twitching now and my necks bloody stiff. 1 sugar for me. Thanks alot for the info. Regards
