Thank you Nikki! It just shows how one can incorrectly jump to conclusions. I have a 'raft' of CRON CRONWRIGHTS, WEAKLY'S, FEATHERSTONES etc. who have been co-opted into the family due to marriages.....I tend to go a bit overboard when adding rellies....I get caught up in the 'chase'! I worked on the tree from 3am (I woke and didn't feel like sleeping again) until I left to go and do the weekly grocery shop just before 2....It's really not good to sit for such a long period.....I did get up from time to time....but as I was enjoying the search I was reluctant to stop! Today it was families a member of the TAINTON family married into....she married an American so as you can imagine with the different Nationalities the names became very interesting.
