Hi all

I think I'm a little overwhelmed by the wonderful responses from all you very kind people. You have collectively set me off on a new line of enquiry which I'm sure will lead to the tea rooms in Alton at some point in the coming months.
What an amazing thing this is! I came to a full stop with another branch of the family and then discovered why I couldn't find them after 1841. They drowned when their emigrant ship to Australia sunk in 1845! 
I also discovered that my 4th cousin is Elton John....I still didn't get an invite to his 60th though!

Thank you all for your help.

Thanks...the Alton Papers arrived this morning. I very much appreciate the time and trouble youv'e taken to send it to me.
I don't know Nigel Richardson but I assume he too is descended from one of the families who left Bucks to work in the Mill.  It's certainly an interesting chapter in my family history and I shall enjoy reading the booklet.
Again, many thanks.
