	I am looking for further information about my paternal relations in Clerkenwell, London. My name is Rayfield. My grandfather was the youngest of 13 so there must be many cousins out there. Unfortunately he married a Smith! My maternal names include Henton and Flecknoe from Nottingham and Hull. Any contact and or information about cousins would be most welcome. :-)

	Hi Anthony and welcome to the boards. I had a quick look and, if you take Flick's advice and put the names you are researching into the Search Trees box above, you will see that there are lots of members with those names in their trees. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner. Hope you find a lot of cousins...... :) Cx
