Hi Many thanks to Ray, Len, Dave, Rachel and Nivard for their welcome assistance to my query regarding Thomas Rutledge - excise man. He has been found at TNA - index of entry papers to Excise Officers at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/e xcise-and-inland-revenue-officers/ I have requested a quote for a digested copy so let's hope it's not too expensive. I have another query regarding Thomas which I'll post in a new email. What a great list this is. Thank you all once again. Kerrie
