Hi Anne,

You have worked a miracle, I have been checking on FreeBMD for that
Fordham Ellis several times in fact over the past month or so, but
assumed that he hadn't been transcribed. I did not know that he'd been
put in as Joseph Fordham, but would have thought/hoped that just
searching with Fordham would have found him - clearly not! I hate to
think of the time I wasted going through the Ellis births indexes -
and I remembered to check for Male!

Am most grateful you took the time, and may I please borrow your wand
- or maybe your patience?

Sincerely
Jay
