Thanks so much tony & Linda, even more names to try and connect, "try" being the operative word? lol I've not posted my theory on why I'm researching the Veck family on the list (I don't think), unsure as to whether to or not? There certainly hasn't been any progression in the tracing of my wife's family pre 1843 before this theory came about from research though, and the pointer you gave me regarding Henry Aubery Veck. I may well write it out conscisely and post it to the list to see what other listers make of it. It seems logical to me, but then someone may notice something I've not thought of? anyway, I'm rambling, so thanks once again, best wishes to all, Jon -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
