Thank you very much for your time and helpful information, really appreciated.

Kind regards

Kevin Meredith

Thank you ever so much, this information is very helpful. I had in fact come across some of these names before on Ancestry, but didnt take the leap of faith and lay claim to them as ancestors. so to speak. Useful to know I was on the right track, but actually you have provided so much more than I had, .........again many thanks.

Regards

Kevin

Thanks Slowhands, they're interesting leads and sure in someway related, but there are inconsistancies with Sarah and her age in the various threads. The 1841 Littledean bit looks correct but the sibling potentials (whilst some could be), dont all stack up as Sarah wouldnt be of child bearing age for some candidates.

Thank anyway and if someone could narrow the search down further, I'd be most grateful.
