    Yes John but can you get the snippet view of that? I can't get it to appear.

      I couldn't see the snippet either but you could try emailing the New Brunswick provincial archives. They seem to have Daniel Johnston's newspaper vital statistics on-line, but I couldn't find the entry you're interested in. Given that you have the date and details, perhaps they will look it up for you. E-mail is at the very bottom of the page.

      PS: Haven't forgotten your BC look-up and hope to get to the library within the week.

        The snippet shown isn't the bit about the Drakes anyway, it shows 1871 and 1872 stuff about different families.

          I know Kate, that's my problem. I was wondering if anyone could get the proper snipet to appear.

          Thanks Jenny, I'll check that out and as for the other, whenever you can, no rush.

            Jenny, that website did have the transcript! I had to search but it was there.

            Off now to see what else is there.

              Kit, they don't always have the snippet view that matches the text.

                It is annoying. Somewhere on the site it says you are supposed to see a snippet about your search request so I take that to mean I should see what I'm requesting.

                But it's all sorted as I have the transcript thanks to Jenny.
