Hi Adam,

There's a few that are mine, I'm just starting on Stephenson's in my tree so hopefully the ones you've gave me are in the family.

Many thanks.

Hi Adam

I don't think these have been posted already, please can you give me the details for Lax & Waud(Lax).

No sure if there's any connection yet, one of these might be the builder George Lax, but the Lax you've posted details for on the Brancepeth MI's has helped to identify a family group.

Thanks
