Thanks to all for the answers to the occupation question . . . By the way I'm just starting to fit the Bebbington Bevington groups together is Cheshire. I'm actually looking for the origins of my ancester Thomas Bevington who "appeared" in Staffordahire in the 1770s Having searched for years to find him I'm now thinking perhaps he came from Cheshire and this research is probably going to take the rest of my natural life ! ! Or until I go dolally with it !! Does anyone else out there have an interest in these groups? reagrds Sandra
