13th: Which William?

A granddtr of William & Fanny Adelaide (PIERCEY) LILLICRAP contacted me as a result of William being in my BDM database of "likely rellies" LornaPotential on RootsWeb WorldConnect.
I'm now convinced that he does fit into the family of John & Mary Ann (SPURR) LILLICRAP family but whether as William son of Richard Henry & Jane (SPURR) LILLICRAP or as the son of John & Jessie (REEP) LILLICRAP is still open as there's contradictory information yet to be resolved.
On balance, I suspect he's the son of John & Jessie given the references to Leathertor, Walkhampton.

Aug 11th, 2007

11th: Wight and Sinton charts updated and extended a generation downwards. This was prompted by contact from a person interested in Jane Wight SINTON, who married John MURRAY of Northumblerland, and from a posting in my guestbook by a 3rd cousin down the line of Peter Sinton WIGHT and Jessie Ellen DAVIDSON. Hope some updates to the tree result.
I've also been contacted by an Australian interested in the family of Jacob SPURR. Detals provided were scanty (no place data), but it looks very like Jacob, son of the Joseph who married Elizabeth HANNAFORD, with assorted LILLICRAP connections that may well prove to be inter-connections.
Not that I've finished fiddling with the web pages and tidying things up, but it's quite a relief to get back to the backlog of emails instead of staring at webpages and testing links to see what I forgot to change.
