Thank you very much It certainly does appear to be my great grandfather.I know they were from the mulgrave area and came from Hanover. My mum was never too sure if it was Hanover the place or province The family very rarely spoke of their heritage Once again thank you and how exciting to finally find something.unfortunately my mum is dead now, I know she would have loved to see the document
