Hi Carolyn Thank you for your reply, which I found very interesting. I certainly didn't mean to say that the submitter for the Ancestral file had his facts wrong. I was just wondering if anyone else was researching so that we could pool what we know and perhaps confirm V Ben Bloxham's findings and also to try to go a little further back. It always helps if there are two people so that you can sound your ideas off them. By the way, I have Harmons in my family tree, they seemed to be based in Worcester.
