Thanks everyone for the wealth of info, which apart from telling me the Horlicks fortune may not be within my grasp, but hey, you never know:), is helping me sort out the Griffiths families of Ruardean.

I can see Geoge Griffiths and Sarah were the parents of John Griffiths. IGI has a George Griffiths born around 1750 marrying a Sarah Brain in Ruardean. Its not in capitals so I understand thatit may not be definate.

I need to find out who were Georges parents, surely if I go back far enough I will get a connection:)

Thanks again everyone.
