Hi Tati, many thanks, yes Richard & Mary are my gt gt grandparents, looks like there was quite a big family.

[countrybumpkin]

Thanks but mine didn't come from Cumnor.

[Tati]

What are you requesting exactly, countrybumpkin? 

[countrybumpkin]

I need any info on this family pre 1837 if anyone out there has it, perhaps decendants of the family, if not will have to go to Berks Record Office and search.

for all your hicks wernt from cumnor it may be worth doing a bit exploring my flaxens mainly were from cumnor but lots were spread around berkshire /oxfordshire and ive traced a few from looking at other towns and villiages.
