Hi Pam, Apologies about the email - don't know what happened there as I seem to be receiving other mail ok. Many thanks for replying though - it's nice to be appreciated even if I wasn't much help! I enjoy looking at other members queries - sometimes it is easier for an unrelated researcher to find something. Too much wood, trees, branches etc - I know mine has! cheers, Anne > From: cliveden@acenet.net.au> To: SUSSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 08:49:41 +1000> Subject: [SXP] Message for Anne - re mystery of Alfred Robins> > Hello Anne> > My reply to your email address alc_goytre@hotmail.com bounced> for some reason, so I'm trying this.
