Thanks Jon for all the effort you're going to for me - I really do appreciate it. I have just ordered some certificates to help me with the COUPLAND and WITNEY lines but I am suspecting these families migrated to Portsmouth in the early 1900's from other counties. If I can return the favour and do any research for you in Victoria, please let me know. Amanda
