Hullo and thank you very much Valda, this is very useful information and certainly helps in the compilation of the tree.

They (Creswell's) may have some more useful information gathered since 2001, I will try and contact them directly.

I dont know if they know of the connection to Charles Todd.

All these bits are a great gain, hopefully the College of Arms may be able to assist as well. I will keep in touch. I have received some extra information via personal email and will post this when I can get my head around it.

Regards & Thanks
