Actually, Mark, I'm not that interested in the subject but, as I said, I thought someone else might find it interesting.

Thanks, Sandra. I'm new to this board and am not yet up to speed on where to find things.

May not be any help but someone may find this interesting. I worked with a guy in Canberra, Australia who's name was Coker-Godson. He said that his ancestors came from Coker and that they owned a lot of land in the area and also in Mauritius. The land in Mauritius was apparently reclaimed by the French government as, under some old rule of law, if the owners hadn't visited it in x-number of years, title reverted to them. He was in the Australian Royal Navy and was posted to Yeoviton and had planned on visiting the only living relative he knew of but, sadly, she died before he got o England. There followed the usual debacle about inheritance, not that expected any, he didn't know the lady at all, but i seems that all her wealth had 'disappeared' in her last years.

A while ago there were some posts re the divorce/ remarriage of Mary Duff Main and Jean-Baptisite Fraigneux. These are my wife's grandparents. There are a few more things we would like to know especially about Mary Duff's early days. Can anyone help?
