Hi Mike Thank you for that. I have been looking at the electoral roll on ancestry.com, are the newer ones on another site?

A big thank you to everyone for your warm welcome to the forum for a newbie! I have passed the photos of the crosskeys and eagle pubs to my older sisters because I was only little at the time, waiting for their replies. My mum and dad were George and Dora Edwards. The last I see of them is on...
