Lovely names and later to come Aquilla, I am looking up the derivation of this, no luck yet.
With an email add I could send you copies of census sheets. I find it fascinating to actually look at them penned all that time ago.
I have copies of bills and magistrates orders and apprenticeship and bastardy forms for my ancestors back to the late 1700S. I have actually held the originals. My great grandchildren think I am a family history nut, I usually ramble on.
