Ouch!! Seem to have made a right monkey of that. - As I said - I'm not in to geneology at all so willingly accept that you can all run rings around me on this score.

But I'm not giving up quite yet.

I went to GRO by prior appointment shortly after the book came out. There were a lot of familiar sounding names and I wanted to check for any relationship. That was 20 years ago. My son accompanied me and we met a person who had helped Ralph Anstis; and at the end of the day we thoght we had come away with a link to Edward and Eleanor - through George. My son made notes which I know I will still have in my files because I don't throw anything like that away - trouble is the filling is in a state owing to a burst pipe last winter.

two point I remember well was the consistent quality of handwriting and the alternation of George and Thomas between the generations of the male line; and I have it in my head that it brought us finally to George?? Maurices post cast aspertions and now Gill; both of which are appreciated; as would any further info that might help

As to my William and Hannah; according to Hannah's bible entries they had four children - of which Gill has found the two eldest but the dates look in need of slight adjustment here and there. They are:

William George Martin - born Oct. 2nd 1875
Annie Martin - born August 16th 1879
Fanny Martin - born August 21st 1882
Oscar J Martin - born April 21st 1886

William was killed at Union
Annie was my Grandmother - maried Frank Jones - born July 15th 1875
Fanny - I rember having a pub in the Raurdean area
And Oscar as I reall had a pub somewhere around Longhope.

Hope this helps
