Yes, I have plenty more now - and it's so long ago that I can't reconstruct how much I knew then. Certainly I now know what the family connection was between William Jefferies and the novelist Richard Jefferies. And that William was born probably at Badbury 30 Sept 1811 and baptized at Chiseldon 12 Nov 1811. Are you aware that William and Louisa Jefferies went out with Webbs, also from Wiltshire, who were close relations of theirs? And that there are surviving pictures of William and Louisa, and details of what they got up to in PMB including gun-running? I don't think their house Nonsuch exists now, but the name survives in a street name on Town Hill in PMB. I haven't located their graves, so details would be interesting ...
If you'd like to email me ((*)) we could perhaps exchange details? I'd be glad to know how you fit in to the family.
