Thank you for such a quick response Jane, and for the interesting information. That enables me to fill in a few gaps in my ever widening (rather than deepening) Family Tree. I have another Potter b 1816 m to Michael Moore b Beddingham 1807 - maybe keeping it in the family eh? But since there were about 64 Moores out of a population of 260 in Beddingham in 1881 .... :-)
