Hallo again Josephine, Again, thank you for all these - it is really good of you. These are really useful I think I favour the later date (1817) for Mary was born around 1794 according to censuses and this would fit well with the birth of a first baby in 1818 but I will regard both as possibles. Her last child was born in 1833 so either would fit. Besides, these are interesting but are a bit of a side line for our research. It is lovely how names resurface - we have a Nancy in our family,(35) a lot of Thomases (OK so that one continues for hundreds of years) but the really spooky ones were when we wandered round a churchyard in Wolverhampton and found our daughter's name there Abigail Wood - some 200 years before her fortunately! And the other was the first Huguenot breakthrough 30+ years ago when the fist named clockmaker in the Duterreau partnership was a Gideon. Our son Gideon was then just 2 and we had no idea of either of these names! I too must go and do something about supper. It is nearly 10 pm here....
