Hello List. Thanks to all for the kindness and assistance from the list subscribers I have uncovered ggrandmum Mary Wilkin EMBLETON in the vicinity of Seghill - Tynemouth, NBL, c.1836 - 1856. Several weeks ago on this list I sought the origin of my grandfather's middle name(s), John William Embleton MARTIN. I obtained his birth certificate, and his mother is Mary Wilkin EMBLETON. There was some discussion about that EMBLETON surname at that time and I am asking now if there are any EMBLETON researchers out there still. BULLERWELL was another uncommon surname, and the other side of the family where I am having good luck thanks to dedicated subscribers and look up volunteers. VBR to all, James Martin _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
