Hi Everyone As luck would have it, the names I'm researching in Leicestershire and Rutland are Brown and Woods.... Nevertheless, I have a bit of information from the census records. If anyone is interested, it's on my web site at http://www.uther.co.uk/ (or the exact page is http://homepage.ntlworld.com/meganian/biggswoodbrown.htm) Naturally I'd be pleased to hear from anyone with similar interests Ian, Norwich, England
