Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 49 Send Message	I am not in the UK so the only BDM that I know about is http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ . This throws me to ancestry.com which I have visited on a number of occassions on this matter. It tells me nothing. Is there another route into UK BDMs which I can use? You all have info from somewhere that I do not know about. Thanks. John B

Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 49 Send Message	Thank you all but I have tried putting William Stanley Benham on BDM etc with no results. That is in my original message. What I need is a clue to his parents to be able to continue.
