Thanks Geoff

I did see the IGI for Thomas and noted it, but cant find where that parish is. St mary the Virgin in the wall

it thanks for taking the time to look that up,

I do recall reading somewhere that there is no name index for colchester on another board,

Maybe one will turn up soon.

thanks
