Many thanks slowhands

Have sent for marriage cert (before the prices rise!) First indications are not hopeful - I'll just wait and see.

I'm keeping a seperate list of orphan entries covering London. Recently helped a Merrington in South Africa who has researched the entire Merrington Tree resulting from John Samuel Merrington going to the Cape to set up an English school.

With a nickname such as yours are you a fan of Eric?
