I am not so hot at cutting pasting from the internet as far as putting a site on to these pages are, I can easily do it on to an ordinary email, so will simply give you what I googled and it comes up very easily.
"thomas rich" unity bermondsey - The "thomas rich" had to have the speech marks around his name, and it came up on a RootsWeb Devon site with the byeline as "re Thomas/Unity Rich"
The following generations all followed through with the information I already have.
It does interest me that Frances Cromwell married Robert Rich in 1656 and 200 years later, on my line, a child of a Cromwell married a child of a Rich, and further that the Rich name was also Robert Rich.
I have been curious to link the two events if possible although one is of the aristocracy and the others (mine) appear to be ordinary folk (like me)
What I sent you yesterday with the info about the Cromwell/Rich marriage, was only achieved when my daughter helped me to cut and paste it into my email, I tried to cut and paste the Rootsweb site on to this but failed miserably.
Thank you for the Stoke Damerel information, will wait to see if you have any comments on the Rootsweb info.
Thanks for all you help. It is Boxing Day here in New Zealand, yesterday was a brilliant, hot, sunny day, a big family dinner with the kids in and out of the swimming pool, it does not get dark until about 9pm, then we went for a drive on the "Christmas Light Trail" which is those houses that have passed the criteria with Christmas lights and decorations, the list is published in the local paper.
Happy Christmas to all,
Robin
