Nice find Maureen !

And there was me, thinking badly of 'poor Campbell' for running off and it was her who seems to have been 'the naughty one'.

Just found out that William Augustus Parry's mother was Lydia Ireton who married William Henry Parry, but can not find her parents. I have found her birth year was 1858.

Tutti Fruity,
Potters Pury!! We remember this name, although we remember it as 'Potters Perry' and My wife's mum said it was where Emma came from.
