Still, jumping on the bandwagon, here are my names: PORTER (In Bridgwater and earlier in Spaxton - can anyone help me pre 1700?)) BAILEY (in Enmore - researching family of Moses ca 1748) GUNNINGHAM (in Enmore - can anyone take me back further than 1700?) BAKER (I'd love to find more about the Robert in Bridgwater who married Elizabeth?? circa 1730) Steve ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
