Hi Alison would it be possible for you to look for a beer house in Hertford? It has been known as the White Horse since 1838. The address is 33 Castle Street. I have my fingers crossed that the Landlord's name is mentioned. Thank you in advance.

OC and G Heath is in Beds. Brickenden is next to Hoddesdon but there are no Spencers listed under Hoddesdon. Brickenden is probably fairly remote, I know that Bayford is next door. Alison

Alison, many thanks for trying. OC&G

Thank you very much, Alison. I appreciate the time spent looking up the Vaus family and your description of the Directory. May I ask for another lookup, please, when you have time? In the Directory, would they have any Vaus' in Shipley, Sussex in 1791, please? All Vaus' mentioned will be 'mine'. Thank you in advance.

Alas, my ancestors arrived too late in Herts for the references, and so far I have none from Devon/Surry. However, the 'Universal' sounded good, so I googled for more info, and via Amazon found myself at this site: www.rod-neep.*co.uk/books/about/index.htm (remove the *) - sounds very interesting, I'll have to bookmark for another time. Would the Universal Directory include any Walkers at Eaton Socon in Bedfordshire, or is the town too small? Thanks
