Dear Pat Many thanks for your reply. I am writing on behalf of a friend. She has only just discovered some of the information I have , then I searched the internet to add some flesh to the bones. So we certainly have not gone back as far as your research - you lucky thing. So, I don't know whether your line might cross. Were all your family in Newfoundland in 1770s? 'our' Pottles are from Romsey area Hampshire, UK. Thanks for getting in touch.

Joseph Pottle married Katherine Eustace 1770. They had Elizabeth 17 Oct 1771, William 7 Dec 1772, Thomas 2 Mar 1777 and John 10 June 1781. All dates are baptismal dates in the Anglican Carhedral in St. John's. My line is the Eustace line.

Does anyone know where I could find records of patients that were in mental hospitals in Hampshire after 1917? Sharon

Thanks Jon Some good points which hadn't been raised before. I did wonder how a family of six could "creep in" without anyone noticing ! The employers, as usual, had it all their own way. However, as you say, my Adams may have been removed twice through no fault of their own. A lot of food for thought here. It's been a good discussion. We keep on learning.

Hello Alan , I have a couple of traveller EYRES in my Dorset EYRES Project database if you are interested in them. I can also check out the Dorset History Centre transcripts for you if you have some definite parishes in mind. Contact me off-list if I can help. Unfortunately there isn't a county wide baptismal index, although the Somerset and Dorset Family History Society maintain a marriage index. The Dorset OPC scheme is excellent in quality and quantity of online transcriptions, although coverage of parishes varies in completeness. Best wishes, Robert
