Hi Ian Years ago I asked if we could be related and because of the spelling change you were insistant we were not. However we appear to be. My line stayed in the Cotswolds (Bibury where it all appear to have started) Off the top of my head I am also the Thomas line but my notes are packed away which is why I have not responded. I gave Rose some info back in November so she is better informed at the moment.
