Hello Amanda, Thank you very much for your kind offer. I would be very grateful for any references to MADDERNs, please. Some of them were living in (and off) Aphrasia Street in Newtown ...... and some may have been carriers or carters ....... an Oliver MADDERN had a store in Newtown (but that may have been later) ...... and one may have owned a quarry somewhere. Will be grateful for any that you find. Kindest Regards ......
