Dear Bob, I see you use the Tithe apportionment for HAWKESBURY, can I be so bold as to ask, "What is that?", as I have two families that seem to come from HAWKESBURY, and I am stuck at the moment in 1791. My names are DAVIS and WITTS, ROBERT DAVIS and BETTY were the Parents of JOB DAVIS, chr. in HAWKSEBURY in 1791. and JOSEPH WITTS who married ANN MALLER, but they married in GTREAT BADMINTON in 1812, although I believe that he came from HAWKESBURY. Hope you can help, Regards, Mavis Williams, Flintshire. ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.P. & A.L.
