We have been in touch before about HANKS and PYKES so I was interested in the latest on Robert PRIOR and Mary PIKE. Altho PYKES are well on the fringe of my husbands ancestry couldnt help noticing Patricia's comment on a Sarah TANDY. Do you think it could be Sarah HANDY? As mentioned before there were quite a few PIKES in Gt Somerford. Just thought you may be interested. regards, daphne [email protected] Researching areas: England kent, Medway,HARDY;TRUEMAN;LANDEN;LAYZELL;MARTIN; MEXTED; WILMSHURST;Wiltshire;PARSLOE;WILLIAMS.Hampshire GUY;WILTSHIRE:Dorset RUSSELL; Sussex;MARTIN;SAVAGE;APPS;AYLING;FROGBROOK;Essex LAYZELL,BAGLEY; Norfolk MOUNSER;ABLETT England.
