Hi Ron, the Penfold i found matches your dates, i can only think it may be possible that he wasnt from sussex and he came from just over the boarder in Surrey where i noted a couple around the date you are looking for. Again they do not list him as Thomas George, i will keep you on file. I will have a look when i go to the record office in sussex to see if i can find anything for you. with warmest wishes Carole ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Penfold" <rlpenfold@hotmail.com> To: <PENFOLD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2003 6:38 PM Subject: Re: [Penfold] Thomas George Penfold > Carole, > Thanks so much for the reply.
