Oh forgot to say sorry no links to Potterpury. btw is it a place or a persons name. lol Jxx

Hello Julie How nice of you!!! I'll look through my 'stuff' and see if there's a link. Thank you so much! love becx

Potterspury is a place, reasonably big registration district, lots of villages on the Bucks/Northants border. Bec - yes I have some Wilkinsons, from south London/Surrey, ditto for Hall's (my grandmother was a Hall). In fact the Wilkinsons and Halls are on the same line...

Nah, my Wilkinsons aren't from down south! becx

my Balls are in Beds This gets worse doesn't it ? lol How about Smiths from Beds/Bucks ?

My Balls ended up in Yorkshire and Durham. anybody got any Mumbersons?

no Heavens in my tree Blue Paul

Come on you lot, anyone would think you didn't want to be related to me !!

Oh Paul, I did try! Daisy

Bec are your Richardsons in essex? I've got some knocking around Chelmsford and Ongar.

Blue... main lines are Smith, Hall, Atkins, Swain, plus Huckle, Barby, Henson, Wilkinson, Hughes and about 75 other sunames :S Paul

Sorry Paul all mine are Somerset except 1 gtgt granma who managed Somerset to Guernsey, Guernsey to somerset and then somerset to Louth, lincs, where she eventually married only to die 5 years later Bev

in fact i cant even find a link with the Somerset lot on here either that or they are not admitting it lol!!! Bev

No relations in Potterbury Paul. Never heard of it but i have a Smith ancestor in Swindon. He was deaf and dumb and lived on Rotton Row. He's not one of yours is he? Muscling in on the act now - has anyone got any Sharpes, Pritchetts, Boddys, Taylors, Russells, Plitschs, Richardsons, Finneys, Parkes, Waplingtons, Morrants, Kelleys, Boots?

Paul, my gt grandparents got married at old Milton Keynes village church. I visisted there once and it was quite rural. There names were Charles Edward Ling (his family came from Suffolk) and Katie Skinner (originally from Toddington). Also from Beds/Bucks I have Bates, Ashby, Burrows, Quick and Dickens. Also, my friend Sue has ancestors from Eggington (Lathwell and Pratt) and we visited a lovely little pub in the village last year, it was so nice we hardly had time for grave searching by the time we'd finished lunch! Carolyn

Sorry Paul can't match any of your names but I do have a couple of Pritchetts for Louise. I'll be very surprised if there's a match though, I've just put three of my surnames on lost cousins & got no matches. BTW there's free subsciption to lost cousins till the end of Jan '06 if you put in YFT as code. Vivienne

Louise... no relations in Swindon that I know of. Thankfully. Caroline... my wife and I got married at the Milton Keynes Village church. Its still very nice, but surrounded somewhat by new housing. They still have morris dancing at the pub round the cornet though, and the cricket green is still there and in use. Not relevant at all, but the lady that married us is the daughter of Kathy Staff (Norah Batty !!)

Well Paul, I'm quite hurt really. I thought we had already established that you were a Smiff like me. There can't be too many of those around LOL. However, if you wont settle for that, I had better join the bandwagon. I have:- Allpress - Morley - Cracknell - Gray - Rollinson - Whetton and many,many others. Any good to you? Chrissie

Paul I grew up in bucks and have rellies in beds does that count. Fraid no balls just calls. You can have Doves, Trudgett, Jenkins, sheppherd, howitt to name a few if you want

Dawn, Chrissie... I have none of those names. Whereabouts in Beds were your rellies Dawn ? Caroline.. you mentioned Bates in Bucks.. my boss is from Wolverton and his name is Bates... wouldn't that be strange if you were related lol
