HI,
Yes I am always interested.  I see you have most of ............. stuff.  I originally discovered ........... on MyHeritage and he expanded a few horizons for me.  Since then I have been adding more materials and family as I find them in my own searches.  I also have a collection of old family photos that I am progressively including.

Your discussion on Sarah Bentley has helped me resolve that little mystery as my mother has a copy of Williams Death Cert that had us blocked by the Alcock name.  I also switched from searching for "Payne" to searching for "Payn" and have then now back as far as 1750 in and around Sheppey.  Other links I found go further back on maternal sides well into the 1600's but with many questions as to how accurate some of the data is.  But I think my names are as solid as can be back to 1750 on the Payne side.

I descend from George Bentley Payne (William's son) who died in 1959.  My dad was able to recall older cousins talking about "Shaky Grandad" which was William.  My Dad was born in 1934 and died in 1992 and was the youngest of 4 sons of Peter John Payne (1901 - 1955) and Ivy Violet Muir (1906 - 1983).

Brett
