Still looking for a Smith  :(

I've gone back to the 18th century on all but one line, and back to the 16th on a couple and no Smiths in the direct lines. I haven't traced many siblings forward yet, so I'll probably find a couple on the dark and dusty outskirts, but none yet

Or Jones's. And only one Brown (Elizabeth. She creeped in by a marriage in 1826!)

I'm very 'local' you see, and we don't allow Big Town names round our way, no sir!

But you have Winchester and in East Sussex there are hundreds of them!  I know I've got two separate lines that I can't link up!!!!

So true! Luckily, mine stayed in the Brighton area, and I can definitely go back to Thomas born 1794, but I've been given details which I need to check for the line back to an Edward Winchester born in 1540.

Interesting, one of my lines goes back to Edward Winchester born 1835 in Patcham.  I believe that's near Brighton
