If anyone knows of one that seems more likely, I would love to hear. I have seen: William, William, William, Nycolas, Richard, Richard, Reynold, Thomas, Thomas... or I have seen: Thomas, Thomas, William, Owen, Thomas, Richard. Most lines connect to Eleanor Copley at some point, although her partner sometimes differs, and Joan De La Warr usually fits in somewhere too. Thanks in advance for any advise, which I anxiously await. Amy
