Caroline Thank you for this one. I expect that there is a book on Lost Houses of Co Durham This has brought out the BOYNTON name again which I am researching as they are the East Riding family of Burton Agnes and Knapton. A number of people on this and other lists are involved. Do you have any more information from the book on Sir Francis BOYNTON who sold Halnaby Hall at Croft, near Darlington, County Durham in 1649 ? Your "Random Acts" was a great idea and is bringing in many new contacts Mark Mark Andrew Halifax, Yorkshire, England mark@manor1.demon.co.uk Researching ANDREW. HARPER. CAMP.
