Just an observation on longevity. I have just completed recording all our KINGWELL family deaths from GRO index.Over 500 and many wonderful names, but if one were named Richard one could expect an average to reach well into 50+ years. This is based on 23 Richards. This study was a real eye opener to the high mortality in the olden days. SKS has offered to post all the death data to Free BMD. Of course if any one is working on this mainly Devon name I would love to hear from you. regards Ian MacPherson Victoria B.C.
