Hi,

I have a George Withers with a father named Henry but this George was born in 1861 near London. My last connection with Bristol is the Charles Withers I mentioned in my first post who was born around 1800. All the Withers from then on were born around London.  Maybe one of the children moved back to Somerset at some stage so the link could still be there.  Seems a coincidence with the names though doesn't it. Although I guess Henry and George aren't exactly unusual names!

Cheers,
Alison
