Hi List Thanks to my cousin Doug Thompson, hi Doug, and the reminder that Sam Pincott had married Abigail Curtiss at Iron Acton (sorry was not subscribing to the list nor GLS then) I have had a quick peep at the online IGI, yet to be confirmed by other sources of course, now find that Abigails father is probably John Curtis who married Abigail Hulance at Horton 7.4.1763, number of other persons of like surnames at Horton and Hawkesbury, notice Curtiss is mentioned in the researchers list on the Home Page, is that you Geoffro. Anyhow thanks for the lead in makes a change from my current work where all people were known by patronymics. Tony
