Hello Listers,
I was pleased to see Bonnie's message today as this is the first one I have
received on the list for weeks and I was wondering if I was actually on it!
Sorry I can't help Bonnie but would like to post my interests for the first
time.
My Cheeks were mainly in Hertfordshire, England, and the environs. I have
traced back to Daniel Cheek of Little Amwell, born c.1711 and probably the
son of James Cheek who married Dorothy Cheek in Essendon in 1710. I am
interested in any Cheeks in this part of the country and also branches
which emigrated to the Falkland Islands (and then to South America) and New
Zealand.
I look forward to hearing from anyone with interests in these areas, or who
can offer any relevant info.
Many thanks,
Mavis Warner

spider bite as youth), Elizabeth, Susannah, Thomas, Henry, ....with his
second wife: John (another), William and Nicholas...any info on William
Cheeke's parents would be appreciated!
