I am confused now.
For Mike.
First of all see if the discs are listed here. If so create a list (called something like Discs I am Looking To Find) and add each disc to it.
If not, try discogs - (tricky as sometimes the cat number entered there wont match the cat number you are looking for but try a few variations on the artist name and title).
MOST Billy Thorburn 78s have been transcribed onto at least Cassette Compliations , which I dont think are on the world here (pain to add) but probably ARE on Discogs - check one of the users who added them as its a Dance Band/Organ website with a load of digitised recordings on it from those tapes. Of course could have slipped completely or the recording is not from the UK pressing you are probably looking for. I have a person on a UK facebook page that is going to flash up some photos of 78s from their fathers collection , so maybe we might get a bit of info (though I doubt it).

I think the Decca issue of Ambrose & His Orchestra – Goodnight, Children Everywhere has the vocals credited to Vera Lynn. Not sure that Issy Bonn did a version - nothing appears on a compilation I can find
Caroll Gibbons did a track called Goodnight, My Lucky Day.
Mike - Are you using - or can you get from your local library any of the Brian Rust discographies of artists and labels ?

Sorry , you are right, wretched Google search for F 1786 throwing at me a result for F 1986 (a Geraldo Disk ) and F 1766 for the Billy Thorburn query , I mis read one of the numbers for that which I was looking for and didnt re-check the F 1766 title before I had to rush out.
