Hi Melanie, thanks for your message but yes...Glen Yearsley and I are in contact and we are both anxious to track down our shared ancestor!! I wonder if anyone knows where the baptism records are held, (if there were any,)or what was the name of the Newlands parish church in the late 1700's. It might be worthwhile me trying them. Thanks again, Gwyn _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
