i am getting very confused to tell the truth
my wallet says i have a balance of 1.43306585 BTC
as you can see from the transaction history nothing much has come or gone since 2013

Your client is not synchronized. If it isn't synchronized, it would only display the correct transactions up to the point for which it is synchronized to. Your transaction was probably dropped by the mempool a long time ago and you can't use that input without first broadcasting the related transaction(s) on the network which is also likely impossible to get.

Things actually start to become rather clear to me...
You started by funding your wallet using tx 422c742829cc69aca4767536f659a7efbc5d88e5b58a3c52a425425240e2d17e (2.707 BTC) and also with a second transaction funding it with ~0.2 BTC. Then you made a series of payments,... The change was always sent back to a change address. You sent ~1.48 BTC to several addresses, minus the fees... So the change sent to your change address in the last transaction you created should have been around ~1.4 BTC . SOOOO... long story short, i think the last transaction(s) you created didn't get included into a block... The person you were paying wasn't payed, but if you'd wait untill your wallet would synchronise, your balance should indeed be ~1.4 BTC, your wallet will probably rebroadcast the transactions that were dropped from the mempool to... Fixing about everything. In your case, it might be a wise idear to install bitcoin core 0.9 or higher, copy your wallet.dat in the bitcoin data folder, dump your wallet, import all private keys into electrum and pay the person you were going to pay with those dropped transactions. If you don't want to do this, you should export the private key belonging to the change address of the last transaction that was confirmed...

Not really, i think you should copy your wallet.dat on a thumbdrive, install a more recent version of bitcoin core that supports dumpwallet on a second PC, copy the wallet.dat to the bitcoin datadir on this second pc, then (without waiting for the full synchronisation) dump the private keys, and import them into electrum. there are (much) faster ways of achieving this, but by using a secondary pc and a copy of your wallet.dat, you minimise the odds of an error. To be honest, i didn't have the energy to crawl trough all those transactions and find out which inputs were used and which outputs were generated, nor did i have the energy to crossreference everything with the addresses you posted, so there's a chance i'm completely wrong... But the numbers do add up to support my hypothesis

The idear of using a second computer is just to minimize the odds of a messup... The second computer doesn't have to have more space, you don't need to wait untill core is fully synce'd to dump the wallet, or a more recent version of bitcoin core can also be run in pruned mode so you'd only need about ~10Gb of diskspace. Just make sure you use a COPY of your wallet.dat, and make sure you keep an original copy of the wallet.dat in a safe place. Things might go wrong, but as long as you have an untouched copy of your wallet.dat, all problems should be fixable. EDIT: rather important sidenode: AFTER you've moved your funds to a clean wallet, hold on to those private keys, they can be used to import into a bitcoin cash wallet, a bitcoin gold wallet, dig for clams,... An address funded with +1BTC before the blockheigts on which these altcoins forked is holding hundreds of USD (in fiat value) worth of altcoins on alternative blockchains!

This address had transactions 2 days ago (in and out!). How did that happen if your wallet isn't synchronized? Did you import this address' private key into Electrum already?

back for some more questions i am afraid
i have located the file on my PC
C:\Users\james\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
i have installed bitcoin core and it is running on my mac but no bitcoin folder has been created here:
~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin
I have tried the same thing on another PC in the house and the same issue exists - no bitcoin folder in which to find and swap the wallet.dat file
i dont have to wait for it to sync for it to create this folder do i?
cheers

The data directory seems to be correct https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directoryYou can always manually create it if it doesn't exist, or you can start bitcoin-qt with the command line paramater -datadir=<a completely different datadir containing your wallet.dat>

You do have to run the wallet for the data directory to be created, if you haven't ran it before. I would really recommend you to just prune the Blockchain on your PC instead of moving it around, a lot less hassle. Can you create a file (not text file) and name it bitcoin.conf. Put the following inside of it: The next time you start Bitcoin Core, the blocks will be pruned and the total size of the block files will not exceed 550mb.

OMG i think i have done it!!
thanks mocacinno this worked:
If you don't want to do this, you should export the private key belonging to the change address of the last transaction that was confirmed...
I looked at the transaction, found the 'change address', dumped the private key for that and then went to electrum and did a sweep and its now showing as an unconfirmed transaction
the other address i swept earlier how now confirmed so hopefully this one will do the same
can i buy you a beer seeing as its friday night?

I'm glad it worked, a tip isn't really necessary. That being said: i'm certainly happy when i receive a small tip. My tipping address is in my profile, it's the same address for bitcoin and bitcoin cash (since you found the private key for your bitcoin address, and you swept the unspent outputs, you can safely import the private key in the electrum wallet for bitcoin cash and spend those BCH to ... Well, wait untill the sweeping transaction is confirmed just to be sure.
