Will send to both of you.  One day when the sun is shining I'll try and get some that are a bit brighter, these are a bit dismal, but then maybe that suits a chapel

little londoner. my grandfather was laurence (sometimes lawrence) who was yours? I can't explain why Rev James finished up in Heathfield, but it may be it was because there was no burial ground at the chapel in Flimwell I have pic of Flimwell which is now a house and the foundation stone containing Rev J's name is not visible. Just to tell you that I am v.v ill so I will do my best for you but......... !!

Oh, Doogie - I'm so sorry to hear that.
Thanks for your message. Our link goes Rev James Pert > his daughter Esther Naomi Pert m. James Benson Wilson in 1876. At the moment, that is the only info I have about the Pert family. It was passed on to my husband by his Grandmother, who was nee Wilson. So, I would be very grateful for any information you can manage as and when. I don't yet know anything about Flimwell either.
Sending you my very best wishes,

little londoner, Sarah, hello,

My interest is with the Pert male lines, but over the years I've gathered a lot of bits and pieces of female lines, so I,ve asked my wife to have a rake around for you. If I don't have anything there is a family member in Canada who may be able to help you.
We have had a wonderful summer up here on the west coast but it's just about over now I think. Where are you?

[LittleLondoner]

Hi!
That would be fantastic, thank you so much. Do you know the name of the family member in Canada please? This roots chat thing is just amazing, isn't it!

When you say 'West Coast' are you in the UK? We are in Wiltshire, UK and our summer has been particularly rubbish! until today that is when we've had lovely sunshine all day - first time for months!!

[doogie]

Hi,
Yes I know. I've seen the forecasts. We are just about 10 miles south of Cape Wrath. This little corner has, somehow, kept it's head above the rain this year. The lochs and burns have been very low this year. We had a long period of dry warm and sunny weather in spring. Even the midges  have not been out force, they don't like dry sunny weather !
