Regarding this http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/unsolved40.html, I've had the following from Matt Tompkins who is unsubscribed at the moment. It looks like some of your recent ideas were approaching the same conclusion. ====================== Hello Judith, It looks to me like Sohame Comitis, in which case it must be Earl Soham in Suffolk, about 6 or 8 miles north of Burgh (and Ekwall quotes a 1254 reference to Earl Soham as Saham Comitis). Incidentally, the 1638 Suffolk muster roll lists a Thomas Netherwood in Falkenham, about 10 miles south of Burgh (Able Men of Suffolk 1638, p. 49). Best wishes, Matt Tompkins

Judith, Thats a good result, forgot of the other meaning for the Comitis bit......
