In the family papers there is a letter to "Mr Crowe, Midle Scotland Yard, Whitehall, London" from a Mr L Threlkeld, Timsbury. The letter is dated 1763 or 1765 and indicated that Mr Crowe had land in Timsbury. I am trying to find out anything that would help me to break this brick wall. I don't know which Timsbury this is but if anyone has any information that might help, I would be delighted to hear from them.
