The earlier entry states "Ravenswood, Yorkshire, England" while the second states "Richmond, Yorkshire, England". I've tried squinting hard and I still can't make the first Yorkshire look like Berkshire. So, is there somewhere near Richmond that might sound like Ravenswood. Do the folks from there have a strong accent perhaps? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
