Hello i would just like to say thank you for all the help you have all done for me found it very interesting and exciting.

Just one thing i found a bit confusing on my tree and other the wife of Perter is down as Margaret Groombridge but on these records its Mary? Thomas his brother is said to be Margaret.

The other thing is Peters middle name is Thomas so would he also have a brother called Thomas.
:-(
