Answer 1

I could probably do it for free. I have a program called UK Info.....

Email me for details.

It's the same system a lot of these other companies have and they charge £40 a time for.

You sound very angry. I know what anti-feminist is, but I can't say I totally agree with what your saying. My mother married at 16 my father was 18, they are still together. They shouldn't be. She worked watiress jobs, at a cleaners and a meat packing warehouse and a factory. Pretty much the same as him. She had four kids by the time she was 32 and finally landed a good factory job she stayed at until retirement. Him too. She did not know anything about a feminist movement, but she held that job, raised all of us, stayed with my dad and retired with quite a bit of money from stocks in that company. My father did the same. He landed a good factory job and stayed to retirement. (Back when you could do that) Now, salary wise they were about equal. Socially, my dad had the upper hand, it was the times. His idea of acting like a man was running off at the mouth. She handled everything while he talked. My mother did what she had to do to survive her life. My father was not understanding. There was no communication (still isn't) and he downed her constantly. But at the same time, she was smarter than him and she came out on top everytime. She ignored, babied and outsmarted him. My mother was raised to survive. If she would have been born at a different time, she might have done things differently, but I admire her more for accomplishing what she has through her life due to her own drive and attitude. She didn't measure things by who told who what or who paid for what, she had her own mind and did what she wanted in her own way. She was smart and made it work. Even in her opressed times, my mother came out on top. She not only was smart, but sweet, kind and a steady role model. She was a superior woman. But she never forgot she was one and didn'nt want to. I hear you on the feminist thing and it has changed a lot of rules but lets not forget we are women. The bottom line is what you feel inside and doing what you feel you are big enough to do and what will you do to get it done. We can still be women, get what we want, do the job better, smarter and more efficiently while still being feminen. There is no shame in loving your husband, likeing your home and housework, cooking if thats what your into & still be in large and in charge. My mother is the strongest person I know. I do live is this world, today, and I have said to her, how could you stay through all this. She doesn't explain. I wish I had half the confidence she has.

Try www.1837online.com .
You need to register to view and you need to purchase "units", minimum is £5. There is a section on living relatives and it uses the electoral register to search! All you need to do is type her name and area she lives, it will give you her details.

Yes its a public document - go to the local library and ask where to view it - I think its in the Registry Office i.e. Births deaths and marriages....
