Sorry if I wasn't clear spec.
Call it a random act of envy perhaps.
Forgive me for side-tracking your thread.

Hi spec,
My line starts with a Thomas Caswell, no idea where he came from but he married Margaret Pitcher in Netherbury, Dorset in 1784 so he was probably born around 1764.
His son Clement b1792 moved to Dundee before 1817 and then Berwick upon Tweed in the 1820s.
Clement's son John moved to the Durham area in the 1840s. Two generations later the line moves back to Dorset where my father was born.
I've seen some of the Wiltshire Caswell's trees and they are filled with some excellent research.
There's some interesting stuff here:
