Hello Josephine Some time ago you gave me more information about my Wrankmore family over the space of a couple of hours then I had been able to find in months. I am very grateful for your help and also enjoy the links to interesting information you post. Please stick around.

I remember your Wrankmore family as being interesting as the surname was spelt a variety of ways in the Bristol records. As you know, besides WRANKMORE, there was RANKMORE, WRETMORE, WRINTMORE and WRINCHMORE. Hope you are continuing to have success in finding more information about them. Josephine
