Hi everyone I think that this may be the last time of asking for info on DUFF as I will now have to try looking in Scotland as this is where they came from. I am looking for info on a William DUFF (b. 1789?) married to Lucy with a son Sampson (b.1819) and a daughter Harriet (b.1828) to see if they have any connection to a Joseph DUFF (b.1805). They would have been in the Sandown / Godshill area of IoW. Thanks for your help in the past I could not have got this far without you. Myra --------------------------------- BT Yahoo!
