Hi again Patricia ! (& Listers for info !) After I passed on your query to the Suffolk List this one reply has come in so far - but as I am not sure whether you have subscribed to that List yet I thought that I had better pass it on to you. I hope that it helps ! Best Wishes !

I had completely forgotten about this as it was over 8 months ago ! - I have had another look at the maps that I have here, and also tried to do a 'Google' search (restricted to the British Isles) but most of the hits end up in North America, especially a coal-mining area in West Virginia, which is not much help ! You originally sent this to the Cambridgeshire Rootsweb List, but you will see that I have sent it to the Suffolk List in the hope that someone in amongst all the very helpful people on there may be able to point you in the right direction ? I'm sorry that I cannot help any further, but I hope that something turns up for you ! Best Wishes !
