Put this into the search box at the top of this page thames watermen/lighter men look up It brings up a thread offering lookups. I am certain there is someone else on the record boards offering similar look ups Also when I looked back through the threads, i found someone recomending this site http://members(.)aol(.)com/rcjindex remove the brackets Also docklands/east end ancestors site very good but relatively new site is wwwparishregister[.] com Linda
