Jocelyn is writing from Malta although her names seem Anglesized, says her parents were married in Stoke. If that's England, Stoke is the start of about 3 dozen place names in my AA Road Atlas. I have written to the Cotton One Name Study Guild chap in Burlington, Ontario. His ancestry goes back to Kenilworth, Warwickshire. Maybe another clue. I have PACE-ARCH connections there also and a Kenilworth web page. Obscurity yes, isn't it fun? It connects with my PACE-ARCH people and the JOSEPH ARCH whose mother was a PACE. HOSEPH was a farm boy, Methodist preacher, Union man, MP. http://www.pacefamilyhistory.info/uk/barford.htm He founded the National Agricultural Workers' Union 1873. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Arch One PACE descendent has PACE relatives both in Kenilworth England and PACE in Malta. Sound like a merry-go-round. Since she said the Pam Cotton knew about her parents, maybe the Cotton ONS Guild chap can help. I'll phone him and talk as I'm also from Burlington/Hamilton where he teaches the Mormon Genealogy programme PF5. His web site is interesting and reveals a good atmosphere. Quite a revolving puzzle, for sure, but isn't that why we are fascinated with this? Gord Pace Maybe the PACE-ARCH puzzle of JOSEPH ARCH, Member of Parliament and founder of the largest trade union in England can come clearer. I see a PACE from Exhall below. That's where my grandmother's ARCH family was from. The TREPASS name has connections to PACE in Malta too. Confusing?
