Mark Rylance

Recently commenced watching "Wolf Hall" for the second time - thoroughly enjoyable. Mark Rylance was brilliant in "Bridge of Spies". I have a sneaking suspicion he starred in a Victorian-era [i]private detective[/i] series. Is any subscriber able to advise please? Many thanks.

Re: Request for 1921 Census Lookup

Yet more information - outstanding! I located the grand-children (1 male, 1 female) of Archibald who died in South Africa. They too live Western Australia and we're pleased to receive what I had discovered at that point. Now, here's more for them. Many thanks again.

Any Kilbirnie Subscribers Out There?

Seeking a Kilbirnie subscriber who could examine Kilbirnie Old Churchyard Burial Registers for burial details of two ancestors. Locating the burials should be a relatively quick task as I can supply names and dates of death.

Thanks in advance.
