Will the people who have posted the Trease/Couch/Wiville families please contact me.  I am the great-great granddaughter of Henry Couch, the Couch Historian (HCCH) you refer to.  Lillian Couch, his daughter, was my great grandmother (my mother's grandmother).  We can help each other.  What you have posted re the Couch's and Wivilles' has been of great assistance to me.  I can help you, as I see their are some corrections (i.e., the birth date of Lillian).  I know a great deal about Henry's two children (Henry Mercer and Lillian) and the Nicholases,  but have not been able to trace HCCH beyond himself, partly because Lillian listed Ann Wiville's husband as John Couch rather than Henry Couch.  I have been searching the wrong names for 23 years.  Cannot begin to tell you how excited I was to at last find that family tree.

Of particular interest for the moment is the person who says Henry Mercer Couch married into the Bacon family.

I have tons of questions regarding places in England as well as the two families.  I am someone who tries to go beyond birth, marriage and death dates in an effort to bring personality to these people in order to sustain the interest of future generations who quickly become bored with names, dates and no photos.

I have photos of HCCH, Henry Mercer and Lillian that I can share. 

Clearly, we can be of much help to one another.  I eagerly look forward to your responses.
Thank you so, so much.
