Sue,

I just can't believe I didn't find this site and your wealth of knowledge much earlier..I've been doing this now for about two years...I love it...I have no family in Australia at all...I was born in England, but my Mum and Dad soon moved to Australia...My Dad lives back in London now, so I'm sure he'll make a trip up to Derbyshire to get a copy of the relevant documents...unless of course we can exchange emails securely (and home addresses)

I'm grateful for the stuff on Thomas and Charles aswell, as I previously mentioned I had been quite sucessfull in linking the west's back to Loughborough and Shepshed, my previous research found that The names Gabriel West was used by the family another 3 geenrations, The oldest Gabriel West I found was born in CHARLEY, a few miles from Shepshed in 1722, but it was all IGI member posted stuff...and I made contact with a local researcher who said he had no marriage for Charles West and Phoebe Hull in Loughborough ....I'm not very good at searching the older records and marriages...

As for the separation of brith places for Thomas and Mary children, your right, I think the first three children were born in Basford, and the next three including my Great Grandfather Frank were born in Heanor.

I haven't got access to it right now, so location of basford maybe wrong.

will talk tonight
