hang on there Annie     I just noticed you are searching Patricks in Leicester?!?!

Welll that could mean you are related to him as well........

???  he was of the Raven Knitwear family   ---  which is part of my   lot?!?!!?  but Catherine Raven married Samuel Patrick (leicester)  and they are my ggg/g or something grandparents....  Which Patricks   are you looking for....

Xin

yes it is interesting   there is a lot on the net about him...

Partricks, not Patricks, sadly  :'(  (I'd love to find out about Vera)

having said that, I've come to the conclusion that everyone from Leicester is indeed related to everyone else from Leicester -- or maybe that's just my family tree that's a bit interwoven!
