searching for information about my 5th great-grandfather Bryan Thornhill, who died in 1710 in Virginia

Menlo Park, California

I have found records of Bryan Thornhills in England in the 17th century, but have been unable to connect them to my ancestor.

Dear Tim,
Some years ago you were enormously helpful to me in discovering my ancestors which included the Beaumonts of the Eland Feud and others. You put me in touch with geneologists who opened a wide range of ancestors back to the 12th century. Me and my family are forever grateful.
I had a long career as a composer of symphonic and operatic music and remember our correspondence with great pleasure.
I am now retired and hope we might touch base again.
All best wishes, Steve (Stephen Douglas Burton website: stephendouglasburton.com

I am searching for the daughter of Lady Maria Armytage, who is currently known as Christina Mary Cornish. I am an old friend from many years ago, who has lost touch. I have something to impart to Christina, but I am having difficulty finding her. If anyone can help I should be truly grateful.

Looking for info on early Midgleys

Syracuse, Onondaga, New York, USA

I am looking for early Midgleys from the era of about late 1500\'s and back as far as i can go. This name has come up in my family tree with Margaret Midgley 1553-1577. She was married to Nicholas Richardson 1549-1617 about 1572 in Clayton, Lancashire, England. Any help would be GREAT. Thanks

Nice website. I found your page on the earls. There is a bit on the suspension bridge on my site - the coats of arms as mounted on the bridge actually seem to be wrong in a few cases - just click on the bridge on the map on my front page if you want the details.

Thanks for that, there\'s much more to the history of Chester that has yet to be uncovered. Keep digging!

Calderdale Industrial Museum

Google search on packhorse trail images

Halifax UK

I\'m doing research for Calderdale Industrial Museum. Where did you get the image of the pack horse trails, created from the Yates and Jefferys maps? It\'s an image we might like to use in talking about how the textile and other industries developed in Calderdale. Is the image your copyright, or can you give me a source?

Great website by the way.

Midgley surname seems to be associated with I1 paternal haplotype.

Thanks for that William - suggests Nordic/Germanic origin.

Known about it for a very long time, so long, I\'ve forgotten. Probably Alta Vista search engine.

Huddersfield.

I keep popping back here. My late father was a colleague of the late Brian Midgley who used to tell him about the Elland Quarmby Feud. That\'s probably what I was searching for. I also used to come back for information on Elmet and am now trying to find out about Godwine of Huddersfield.

I am also intrigued about the Orm son of Gamal on Kirkdale sundial and the gamal mentioned in and around Huddersfield. Looking at the maps on the Domesday PASE site, I rather think it is.
