Hi Bee  ;D

does he hail from around Ashton-under-Lyne by any chance? ::)

I have the strangest ancestors - they keep disappearing and they all seem to have died young -  which is a bit of a worry!  :o

Hi Darcy,

I don't know where he actually comes from but I do know that he's previously played for Altrincham and Flintshire (Queensferry, N. Wales) , so I suspect he's probably born that way on.  You could maybe try the Blackburn website as it has a message board and I think you can send the players pm's,  site address www.blackburnhawks.com

The only reason I know the above is because my son plays ice hockey, same league, different team.

good luck
Bee

I think Madame d'Arcy lives in Oz and so is lucky enough not to have made the acquaintance of Anthony Worrall-Thompson.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

Milord Hack! ;D

believe it or not we get 'Ready Steady Cook' in Oz! so there is no getting away from Mr Worrall-Thompson.

Maybe if he is a relation I will get a free feed! ;D

Darcy ;)

Just tried the surnames I am researching

Hilton 16188 names ranked 447
Bowkett 1212 manes ranked 5674
Ralph 7853 names ranked 1009
Harris 142164 names ranked 22
Roberts 187871 names ranked 11

Looks like some of the family will be easier to find than others!
