Devon Family Historian vol 117 (2006ish)
« on: Saturday 25 October 08 20:32 BST (UK) »
Hello,

If someone has volume 117 of the Devon Family historian I'd be grateful if they could tell me if there are any Thomases in David Horwill's article on Excise Officers in Devon, with the surname BERRY, LAVERS, LAVIS  or LIMPETEY or any sort of variation on these.

Thanks very much,

John

Terry,

Thanks for that. I had seen it, and understood it was only for volumes 1-100.

Barbara,

Thank you, I waited with fingers crossed!

John

Thanks for the update. If Barbara can confirm he was there I'll be reaching for the cheque-book!

Hello Cathy,

I've been out of action for a while, so belated thanks for looking this up for me. This man is a mystery!

Thanks again,

John
