On surfing the net this morning found one of my ancestors mentioned in a lovely site telling about the church St Michael and All Angels Sopley. It read "The stained glass window is to the memory of Mary Anne Paris who, in 1867 at the age of only 19, was drowned in the Avon Run at Mudeford." Could someone supply me with an address to write to the church at Sopley to see if any living members of that family attend, as from time to time I send a few letters from addresses in the phone book, but to date have had no success. Thanking you in advance for any help received. Bette from Bribie Island Australia
