Several people replied to Heather Punshon and provided data in the twinkling of an eye. Would someone mind explaining how they did it, please? They obviously didn't have to wade through Bishop's Transcripts page by page.

Bruce The people who responded probably had a subscription to Ancestry or Find my Past and were a lot better at searching than I am! For example Vivienne found them trancribed as Punsher and Panshon. I had tried PUN* and PAN* with no success. Heather Bruce Dodd wrote: > Several people replied to Heather Punshon and provided data in the > twinkling of an eye.
