Hi Ken, You were spot on with my Yarhams and Dunthornes. Well done! My Kemps came from the same area as my Yarhams and Dunthornes (Walsingham and Docking). (NORFOLK) Ablitts came from Sutton, Waldringfield and Needham Market. (SUFFOLK) Wildings are also called Wilden and came from Needham Market (SUFFOLK) Thanks for this - much appreciated! Cheers, Horatia
