THank you for your reply - I don't even know where CREWKERNE is!! It's only recently I found out that my HENRY TATE started a second family in the 1870s (he was born in 1815!). I really don't have TOMS as my ancestors, but there may be TOMS who share my ancestor, HENRY TATE. Sorry - never heard of a "beansman"! Maybe someone who sells beans? Grows beans? Have you googled the word? - Kathy Tate Anderson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Parsons" <payman@blueyonder.co.uk> To: <ENG-HAMPSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 2:20 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-HANTS] TOMS - Portsmouth/Landport/East Cosham > Kathy > > Your message arrived as I was posting a message to Somerset List re a TOMS > born in Dorset, but living in CREWKERNE.
