Hi Kate
thank you very much for that the funny thing about it all is for some reason or another whenever i pick up a book, magazine or any article i always read the back few pages first dont ask me why its just something i have done since a kid. But for some reason i didnt do it with this one, and too think it had been sat there for at least 2 years and i never noticed talk about blonde lol, yeah it was a strange way about learning about the family, but thats me all over do everything backwards, or in this case not lol. Although i am in pain and may need an operation, i think like you said it has paid off even the pain in my back disappeared for a couple of hours.
I will check the Eliza Ingram message board as the info i have just found is on my dads side of the family and if i remember rightly i think you may have helped me on that!! Eliza Ingram is on my mums dads side of the family and we are around the 1700 - 1800's so any info that can be found to track them back further would be of great help and very much appreciated.
