Hi Alan, I agree it has been quiet lately. So since it is I will post my surnames again. My main one is PURCHASE: William PURCHASE c1707 m Jane DANIEL Their son William PURCHASE c 1741 m Mary TAKLE (d/o John TAKLE & Mary THOMAS) Their son William PURCHASE c 1773 Brompton Regis m Sarah WOOD c 1782 Huish Champflower (d/o Charles WOOD & Ann WEBBER) Their daughter Charlotte bn 21 Oct 1810, bapt 09 Dec 1810 Brompton Regis m Philip Blundell HILL. Their son John HILL - he was my 2X gt grandfather and emigrated to New Zealand with his older brother James when he was 14 yrs old (James was 16), never again seeing their parents or England. I do have quite a bit on the PURCHASE's, and a bit on the TAKLE's and the HILL's that I have found online (the HILL story is out in a book). But would like to make contact with anyone researching the families especially if they have Charles WOOD and Ann WEBBER. Regards, Raewyn
