Thanks Denis. Yikes! My whole life may be a lie, as well as my heirloom clocks. Thanks for the info on the Walpole John Mayhew; I will see if I can find anything on him. I do not have a copy of the John Mayhew Will and would really appreciate having a copy.

Good morning. Thanks so much for getting back to me. The John Mayhew I am interested in is indeed the one who married Elizabeth Adams and had about 8 children in Westhall. My direct ancestor is John's son James, whose son Alfred emigrated to Quebec in 1836 as a pioneer to a community which came to be called Canterbury.

I have seen the family trees on ancestry that show the family going back to Henry Mayhew of Parham whose was a clockmaker. I was even able to purchase two of his clocks when I was based in London some 25 years ago. Now that I am retired I am really interested in learning more about the Mayhew family background. However, I have not been able to determine with any assurance that the ancestry path shown in the family tree is accurate beyond John and Elizabeth. Anything you can provide in this regard would be so appreciated.
Best regards
Gord

Hi Denis
I am very interested in finding more information on the John Mayhews of Westhall and of Heveningham. I cannot seem to trace them back further with any degree of confidence. I would be so grateful for any information you have or guidance you may provide in this regard.

Best regards
Gord
