I had a Joseph Rawlings marry my distant cousin Elizabeth Girdlestone family. For whatever reason the couple never married but had six children who all carried their mother's maiden name of Girdlestone. Elizabeth was the daughter of a Robert Girdlestone. Ring any bells?

Hi all - This recent junk posting has been fixed by my unsubscribing the e-mail address which posted it. All better now. Be relaxed.

I also mark it as Spam in the hope that it doesn't get through. These things happen, unfortunately.
