PS Fingers x'd they do Paula!

PPS what about the sailor you are looking for or isn't that allowed?

[PaulaToo]

Not looking for a sailor now, Rabbit.
He is on a very far back burner for when everything else is settled. After all, how do you trace a man when all you have is a photo, not even a name. I think about everything that could be done was done when I first joined Roots.

Did you have a look at the Samuel Purchas stuff ?

[toni*]

which County be Bierton?

[PaulaToo]

Ah HA! They can make up their minds...
Just doing a North Marston look up for someone and what do I find tucked away in the Baptisms....
1698 Sept 1698 Richard Purchas enter'd on this Cure.
So they came in 1698....
What do they mean confusing me by saying 96 or 98... rotten lot!

Not got round to Sam yet, toni...will do.
While you are helping me with the Purchases, I'm looking up a Rickard for someone else...

All bloomin go round here, isn't it  

Bierton is just down the road from Winslow and North Marston in Bucks....
You've heard of the Bermuda Triangle...I've got the Bucks Blob...all my lot gravitate to it...

they say 96 or 98 as the calendar hadn't vhanged over then so they had the ten months of equal days rather than the 12 months like we do now.
