I have been researching SHARMANS in Battisford/Ringshall/Little Blakenham all in Suffolk. Starting point was Jonathan Sharman, baptised at Wattisham Baptist Meetin House in 1827 and who sailed for New Zealand on the Ship Berar in 1875. Please contact me off-list if you are interested.

He is mentioned in two census returns.At first I thought it might be a gypsy name, but the family are ag labs, and stayed put for decades as far as I can see. Best wishes, Cheryl

There seems to be a lot of 'listers' looking for old maps web sites today! Some map sites I have in my file are as follows Greenwood's 1827 map of London at www.bathspa.ac.uk/greenwood/map_c9h.html and neighbouring panels or there is www.streetmap.co.uk or www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk or try the search engines such as www.askjeeves.co and ask 'jeeves' for old maps of wherever you are looking for or try www.cydislist.com Once again look for maps. Hope this helps. Diane in Essex

Would the person who tried to contact me re VANHEGAN please contact me....minus the attachment please, because if you are genuine, I will be very pleased to hear from you. (This does not apply to you Dick Johns! Thanks for your reply.......) Diane

My VANHEGAN family come from London/Middlesex and were living in the Golden Lane/Old Street area until the First World War and beyond. Like a lot of families, some of them moved away from London, so I am now trying to trace my VANHEGAN relations in East Anglia and the 'home counties', or anywhere in the world for that matter! Are you a VANHEGAN? Were your ancestors VANHEGAN? Do you know anyone called VANHEGAN? If so, please contact me. Diane in Essex England
