Hello Stuart

Sorry to reply via the list, but I since I have just upgrade to IE5 have
lost your e-mail address.

As you had very kindly offered to look up to see if any of my ancestors were
in Ford Park, would you know where I might find an index, if Ford Park
Cemetery is going to be out of bounds when I come down in June?

Lesley
