Some of the SMITHs must have heard you, Matty !!

..... and SMITH is now tearing ahead with a four-point difference to JONES.  Can he keep it up ???

#1   : SMITH   35
#2   : JONES   31

Still following the leaders, TAYLOR is making a determined effort to catch up, but DAVIS is standing still, allowing ROBERTS to overtake him.

#3   : TAYLOR   20
#4   : WILLIAMS   17
#5   : ROBERTS   15

and at the bottom of the field,  HALL and ROBINSON are valiantly hanging in, ....
Will they stay the course, or will they fade away .... ???

I think JONES has just about thrown in the towel, he's been in the 70's for several weeks now !!

I have eight of the top ten in my tree. Fun. Luckily one of the ones I am missing is Jones. I would hate to have to look for both Smith AND Jones!

Kez :) whose grandfather was John Smith, whose father was Bill Smith, whose father was Fred Smith, whose father was Charles Smith. What I would give for some Ebenezers and Baccheuses and Alonzos!

I feel truly blessed not to have any Smiths, Jones or Browns in my tree.  Most of mine are a small tad unusual.  I think the most common ones I have in my tree are Stewart and Pugh.

I wish all you Smith and Jones hunters the very best of luck  ;)
