I seem to have far more Janets in Lamplugh than any of you have elsewhere - so I'm beginning to wonder whether a Janet married into the Lamplughs and she became godmother for a lot of the local yeoman families - hence the proliferation of the name. I'll have to look up in a Lamplugh family tree. Chris chris@dickinson.uk.net
