You don't say if your ancestors are originally from Driffield ? I can trace my tree back to 1663, a John Etherington from Barnard Castle. I would be interested to know if you think there maybe a connection. Janice Serginson (nee Etherington) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
