came across your post quite by accident today 01/09/2008 - my 50th birthday !! Yes, this is MY family. I have researched since 1987 and found out so much info, only to find that a professional researcher had already done the research !! he had deposited it in in Cheltenham library and i was there doing research when one of the librarians overheard me say the name HAYLING and he said "dont move !!" then he came back with a copy of the family tree !! can you believe it !! mind you, the professional had missed MY line of the family off the tree completely !! i had more than he had in some areas and he had more than me in other areas, so i pieced them together and have a fuller picture. mind you im not saying its complete as there are still several lines yet to be researched, from the top of the tree downwards. my name is spelt HAILING but there have been several different spellings over the generations. I would be happy to hear what you have found. regards Marshall Hailing, Birmingham. Email address available if u wannit. please reply.
