Hi JeanLillian
It would appear we have the same ancestors, My great grandfather Richard Down left Great Wishford in 1890 and married in Rochdale Lancs. He was born in 1846ish. His father was Thomas Down of Great Wishford and South Newton (next village). After that it would appear its an Richards! I do remember many years ago findiing a link to Elias Down. The name Shergold and Blake appears too. I once went down to Great Wishford and there are still Down's living there.
