Also worth a look at is Free BMD - www.freebmb.org.uk - “FreeBMD is an ongoing project, the aim of which is to transcribe the Civil Registration index of births, marriages and deaths for England and Wales, and to provide free Internet access to the transcribed records.”

The mormons in the states have nearly every name and person that lived in passed 100 years lodged somewhere and they are most helpful I am told

They say the dog is man's best friend. I don't believe it - how many of your friends would you neuter?

Hi Carolyn , my grandfather also moved from London to Pakefield at that time, his name was Tom Jackson and he worked at the TB hospital as a stoker and I am trying to find out more about him. They lived in Church Street Pakefield and he was in WW1 in the navy. Very interesting to hear your story, very similar to mine. He came from Tooting in London and he was my mum's dad, she also had a brother Lionel.
