Hi Thomas

Thanks for your messages.  The family tree was given to one of my mother-in-law's sisters by another member of the Mayer family.  He has since died but the original document does have a coat of arms with a three masted ship on the shield with a mermaid crest.  The motto given is Pallens Mari (by water powerful).  The note says that the early generations shown on the tree were taken from Joseph Mayer's manuscript at Bebington Library. 
I know very little about Ulveit de Meiri and was very interested in the information you gave in your message.
Most recently I have been trying to find the connection that Richard, mother-in-law's father, has to the family.  As you will see the line comes down from Elijah Mayer through the Boons, Leeks, Bloods and then Rhodes.  Hilda married Richard Mayer but as yet I have only got back to a Hugh Mayer and Frances Mayer of Rufford c 1725.  Even then it is on someone else's tree and I have been unable to research it properly for myself.
Regards
Maggie

Del - To make it even bigger there is a connection between Copes and Reptons.  John and  Mary (1799) Cope's daughter Sarah (1834) married a Thomas Repton.  In 1708 Dorothy Repton, daughter of Rev John Repton Rector of Stoke and incumbent of Norton married Francis Meare (corruption of Mayer) of Norton Green Hall.  The problem is making the connections.

Patricia - The tree is nearly complete but currently to print about a metre square!!!!

Hi Del
Clearly there is a connection between the Mayers and Bloods.  The Mayer tree we have shows that Rebecca Mare m Edward Boon.  Their son Edward m Sarah Wood at Newcastle.  Their daughter Elizabeth m Thomas Leek.  Their daughter Esther m Samuel Blood in Hanley.  Their daughter  Esther m Richard Mayer who is my husband's great grandfather.

Sorry for the delay in replying.  I have looked at the tree and cannot immediately see that name but when I get it onto the computer I will send the relevant section to you.

Hi Terry

At the moment I am still transferring it onto the computer.  The photocopy is a little battered and in places difficult to read but I am doing my best.  I can send you a copy or at least with my husband's help I can.  Do you just want the line back from Ann? 

On the tree I have your line stops with John and his siblings although there is a note to 'See Adams family history' so I assume it is documented elsewhere.

Will be in touch - this may be the spur I need to get the tree completed!!

Best wishes
Maggie
