Hi,hope you don't mind my joining in on your family-tree interest,but i'm the chap who first mentioned the Rawdings.
You said you have an interest in William,who's parents were Francis and Mary.
I have'nt got quite got that far back yet,but from notes there is a couple in my tree of the same names.
It's interesting the amount of times the surname changes,I've had Rawding,Rawdin,Rawden,and todays version,Rowding.
We could be related if we go back far enough.
I'd certainly be interested in any info you may have collected on your travels.
cheers Phil.
