Wiggy, I think Brenda needs someone to do it for her as her location is Spain. Maybe I'm wrong!! Just thinking aloud there.

Correct!!! I would love to be able to pop down to Leeds City Library, especially as i used to work for them!Just thought some kind person who used the library would be able to do a look up for me.I am always happy to send for certificates if I know that I have the right person.Brenda

Hi arryNo originated in Leeds but we have a small house in Suffolk because my son lives down there and the terrace is called Pyghtle Terrace. I use that simply because I got tired of trying to find a name that was not already in use.Brenda
