Ewan, I understood what you asked, my reply was that it can be difficult at times. I was just explaining some of the issues that I've had doing my research. And thought it could have been helpful if you are at the start of your research, sorry if I wasted your time. Nick S Phillips

I have spent a lot of time looking into my family tree. You need to remember when looking at births that some times parents could not read or write so spelling can cause some odd problems. When looking at marriages, if you think you found the person you are looking for but the age don't seem...

mikejee, having drank in both the Bull and The Gun makers for over thirty years. I think your statement that the "Bull got larger floor space" is wrong and if you take into account that they have brewery space also. Hope to see you in either pub with a pint and we can check out the floor area...
