By chance I came across this site listing deaths recorded by the Operative of Masons.
I found a baby girl listed, previously unknown to us, - cousin of my dad, because her father was a mason.

I thought this was a good find, until I opened it - and found it refers to Stonemasons and Quarrymen!! :-( :-( :-(

Interesting reading even if your rellies weren't Stone masons, quarrymen or related trades.
