I sure have, jaywit, and welcome to the chase. I told her where she had it wrong as well...she never answered. Mark Warner is much better.

Paula the only thing I have against that site is that he has many living people's names on it. Something I am so much  against. I wonder if he has permission from all of them to put their names online.

This is the Elizabeth Purchas bit for the wrong birth date...... 

[PaulaToo]

That's a thought, jaywit, but he is very good.

Yes, that's one of the mistakes, Lesanne, I can't find anyone with the name of Purchas(any variation) in NM until the Rev Ric arrives with his family.

That Bierton Family looks pretty good to me.
When are you gonna get that will....   

[PaulaToo]

Pretty soon, I think, Lesanne. It could be the key to a lot, just like the Capenhurst one.
Wills are very useful when you get back that far, aren't they... so many delicious names and relationships.

Going missing for half an hour, me Welsh soap is about to start...it's been delayed by the rugby...
Back soon.

I put North Marston into that site....and frightened myself...I shall go back to the 1000 entries later, when I feel brave enough
Well at least we have only found 2 names for Bierton...so far.
Granborough had about five... going from the Saxon Greneburga to Grandborough and lastly dropping the d to become Granborough.

Odo, they had a bloke called Odo in the Doomsday book down in Wiltshire. The name always makes me think of Deep Space Nine.
