I agree it is Hemlock Water-dropwort.

Probably because I looked at the wrong Water Dropwort.I was looking at Fine-leaved Water Dropwort - Oenantha aquatica.The other one wasn't in the book I looked at Finely found it in only one of my books which says habitat marshes, wet woods, ditches.Which didnt fit exactly so I probably ignored it.They are all so similar and despite the books can still be very difficult especially to an amateur like me

Thanks everyone for the help at least it ended up pointing me in the right direction in the end
I have renamed them in the unidentified Gallery.Now do I upload them again into the main Gallery or will a mod move them over ? Please

It is probbaly just worth pointing out this it is one of the highly poisonous ones along with hemlock, giant hogweed and wild parsnip,(which can all cause severe blistering of the skin as the sap reacts with sunlight), however, ALL the water dropworts are poisonous and its Hemlock water dropwort which can actually be fatal! ...just thought id mention it
