Dear All

I am experiencing some difficulty receiving messages at the moment, probably
my fault, but I have asked Michael for advice. This means I have not been
able to send everyone who asked a copy of the auction poster image, for
which I apologise.

If you would like to send me an e-mail direct to mikedurtnall@hotmail.com I
will send the image ASAP.

Regarding the use of 'alias' as in FEAR alias CHAPMAN, this indicated an
illegitimate birth somewhere back in the family. It could have been many
years back, I have seen it persist over many generations. A good example of
this is at Huntspill, with the name GROVE alias SELLAR.

To update on Burnham registers, I have now uploaded baptisms 1768-1812 and
1812-1840 and marriages 1754-1812 onto the website. I am currently working
on burials 1768-1812.

Regards

Mike Durtnall
