Morning all,

Of course, why didn't I think of that!  That is where they are all hanging out!  Has anyone googled it?  It would most likely come up! Te he!  ::)

PS Toni there are a lot of unknowns in the graveyards too and we know what they are don't we!

Hi Rabbit....and the rest are probably Webbs, because no one knew which name they were using at the time and played safe....

Right, off to shops, back later.

Dropping in to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has helped in the hunt. I hope you do as well in the next one.

The letter is on it's way to Bucks Genealogy asking if I can borrow their Winslow marriage transcriptions...that should arrive any month now, depending on how many people are lined up to borrow it.
If I find a Richard there getting married to a Ruth, I'll know I'm onto a good thing.

I have also downloaded the will for George Purchase, woollen draper... Can't read a word as yet, it's too small, but I've transfered it to Paint and can blow it up.

I have so many links and leads to follow I don't know how to thank you all.
I'll let you know how things progress.
Oh, and DebbieG....I've ironed the crease out

Glad you approve Debbie.

If anything turns up, one way or t'other I'll be sure to keep everyone in the know, toni*

I have managed to 'sort of' read down the first page of the will, just getting to the good bits...
Seems he had sons Samuel and George. Makes your eyes go crossed though, so doing it in easy stages.

Now I'm waiting, none to patiently for the next move from Bucks Genealogy.
