Thanks, Meg!
I just found some rellies in there! Now I'm struggling with the price list

and am thinking, well maybe next time I'm in the U.K. I'll go in and look myself...

Thanks for the tip

What an interesting website! Thanks for posting this one Meg.

I've often wondered where all the young males in various branches of my family went when they vanished into thin air especially in the early 1800's. I realize that many of them simply died of infectious diseases etc., but surely not all of them! This gives me one more place to search since both military service and commerce provided many jobs.

I even found another Clerihew whom I'd never heard of on the first search!

Just did a quick search and found a burial in 1900 for someone I had on a 1901 Census in Glasgow.

Back to the drawing board

Oh dear, Mallog

How frustrating!

Glad it's proved of use to others anyway.
