Greetings from New Zealand. Co-incidentally I have just been tracking Darvells (because some were listed as witnesses to a marriage that I was trying to get more info about). Anyway, just to let you know April that there were HEAPS of them in the Chesham area - fertile lot, weren't they! Also some had been wrongly listed as "DAWELL". Good hunting!

I checked out the Bucks FHS website thanks to Pauls reply, it looks very interesting, I may enrol as a member to see if they can help.
