Hi Mark ! Nivard's suggestion (below) is a very good one as the word will spread around East Anglia much more quickly ! - and one county that you should definitely look at is Essex, as the well-known thriller writer Bernard CORNWELL came from there ! That is why he uses the "South Essex Regiment" in his "Sharpe" series of books and the TV series which developed from it. I also have a distant relative in my Family Tree who came from Essex and whose maiden name was CORNWELL ! Good Hunting ! Best Wishes !
