Many, many thanks to those who responded to my plea for help.... all SIXTEEN of you! I don't want to clog the list with individual replies so please accept this as a coverall *thankyou*..... I'm really grateful for the time and trouble that you've taken. Now that I have a handle on this surname, I can make a start on searching for an appropriate marriage. Thanks listers. regards Anne H. _____________________________________________ > http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/unsolved36.html > > I'd be grateful for help on the surname that appears (twice) in line 3.
