Many many thanks to you both for this Big list, never thought I would find so many of my past relations Joseph & Ann Paxton are my 4th Grand-parents.(no luck with the graves at Finmere have just checked that out.) Wish I could find some old photos of them. Richard Kirby & Mary Measey are my 3rd G-parents also.
really hooked on this Family Tree. One sober thought ...All these people I am finding out about made me what I am today.
Thanks again

Glad you're getting hooked on this Val. We've all found that we love the search for long lost rellies and are really happy to help anyone who needs a hand.
Such a shame that you haven't found any graves yet but I'm sure as you build your tree and get more names this will change.

Good luck, Liz
