Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 7,478 Send Message	I've had some new information come through about Ms Haystack. Now then i have been told that she maybe from a place called Bedlam Bottom, all i can give you on this is what Google tells me and that the place is in Hampshire? So i need to establish if there really is such a place and if Ms Haystack really was lost in Bedlam? If she is in Bedlam where does that leave Norman? A frustrated Tracey xx

	I once had to search for the name 'Fish Fish' and it seems there are 7 on 1841, 9 on 1851 and 8 on 1861 - all came from Lancashire, I weem to remember!! Thought it was very strange at the time, but they ARE there! Dea x

	on the subject of Dea's Fish Fish names this is one of them with a good name for father Baptisms: 1 Jul 1806 Lower Chapel Independent, Darwen, Lancashire, England Fish Fish - Son of Burgoyne Fish & Ann Born: 4 May 1806 Abode: Chapels and a lot of fishes in these two Baptisms: 30 Mar 1824 Lower Chapel Independent, Over Darwen, Lancashire, England Fish Fish - Son of Thomas Fish & Betty (formerly Fish) Born: 18 Feb 1824 Abode: Chapels Over Darwen Blackburn Baptisms: 25 Aug 1833 Lower Chapel Independent, Over Darwen, Lancashire, England Fish Fish - Son of John Fish & Mary (formerly Fish) Born: 9 May 1833 Abode: Over Darwen Blackburn I wonder if (being Lancashire) there is a 'Chips Fish' anywhere?

	Interestingly, LancashireAnn LOTS of results for 'Chip Fish' - I assumed most of them would be American but there are several of them in the UK also: Search for Chip Fish: 1,000 U.S. City Directories 238 Rhode Island City Directories 181 Massachusetts City Directories 73 U.K., City and County Directories, 1600s-1900s 49 New Hampshire City Directories Dea Xxx
