Thankyou John, Sorry, I was replying to Judy's earlier letter....I have since been digging further back. I have found that Wm Southorn married Margaret Roden (another tobacco pipe manufacturer) in 1819. The earlier generation, in 1786, John Dougherty Roden married Joyce Hartshorne Poole, a sister of my line (John)... www.broseleypipes.co.uk/ provides good info too.
