I am wondering Charani if you would mind looking for any Webbers in the Hearth Taxes, especially in the area around Upton, Many thanks in anticipation, Cathy

Hi Charani, I've been waiting for the rush to pass in case you're swamped with requests for look-ups. I hope that now is an opportune time. If not, please ignore this request til it's more convenient. I am interested in the ERNLE family, some of whom were connected, at least for a time in the 17th century, with Bristol. The name is spelt with many variants including ERNLEY and ERNELEY as well as forms starting in EA-, and occasionally YE-, or even HE-. They all sound the same in the end, if one isn't to fussy about H-dropping. Apart from that family, I have SMALCOMBE (and variants) and BROAD at Twerton, near Bath. In fact, I have a whole slew of Twertonian forebears, but those are the chief ones. Any LARGE (or LARDGE) family members would also be of interest, particularly those at Bristol and Westbury-on-Trym. Many thanks for your valuable time and attention. Richard Richard Carruthers, M.A. (Oxon.) OPC Purton and Rodbourne Cheney, Wilts. _________________________________________________________________ IM on the go with Messenger on your phone http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9712960
