Many thanks for taking the time to reply. I almost understand ... I know about the 12 word seed (I have that stored safely).
However I don't know anything about electron wallet
I could have a mess around, but I'm guessing there's a link someone could post
I really appreciate this !!!!!
Make sure you've moved the Bitcoin out of the wallet first. I'd use Coinomi instead of Electron Cash.
There's a guide on how to do it here -

And two what if I now have my btcs in about two or more wallets, does that mean I will have to download several electron cash softwares to be able to use it and get my BCH?
They're now separate blockchains that split on that date. If you had coins in a wallet on August 1st that's the wallet the BCH will still be in regardless of where your bitcoins went afterwards.
