Hi I would like to introduce myself as I have just subscribed to this list. My name is Elizabeth Purves, my maiden name was Watts. I am researching my fathers family. They seem to come from Suffolk, Surrey and Essex in the UK. Names that keep reappearing in my search are William, Edward and Josiah. Thats all for now.
