Janet and other English cousins:
Interesting reading on the Clutterbucks and your Heskins. There are a
number of us [your American cousins] following and keeping the posts you
and others share here, even if we don't post often.
If you or others there come across data mentioning Clutterbucks in an
earlier period, say 18th century, please share. I have Clutterbucks
1730s in Virginia. We do not have passenger lists for that early, so
its going to be tough sailing hooking up across the ocean! It will help
if you are able to point out areas that Clutterbucks were numerous in,
so that we have a general idea what direction we are heading. [or
backing up to, I guess <g>]
thanks!
Jeanne
p.s. I will be in England sometime in July, and hope to search out a
few of these Clutterbuck locations, along with my Nevilles, Balls and
Crowns, among others..
Posted on the Gloucestershire list where there has been some
CLUTTERBUCK discussion recently.........
