Hello Marianne Just read your email and looks like I have finally found someone who has the same HARPUR/HARPER interests as me. I am researching the Harpur line through Renhold/Ravensden and these link into my IVES line. Maybe we could help each other out on this if you are interested. We could also be "cousins" !! Let me know what you have on this line and I will get back to you with some more info. Hope to hear from you soon.

Stuart / Marianne, Glad you found each other. You might also like to Google using "Reuben Harper" in inverted commas. The inverted commas looks for the name as a phrase, meaning both words must appear together. There is Rob on Rootschat also enquiring about this family but he doesn't give his connection. Peter
