Husband's Welsh grandfather was called Edward Mandry Evans, known as Ned. Nobody seemed to know where the Mandry bit came from. I found his gt grandmother was Mary Mandery before she married and figured Mandry was a variant. Today I was at the FRC looking at various bits and bobs, and as I was leaving I noticed a book called Welsh surnames. I looked through for Mandry and there is the death notice for Edward Mandry Evans from the Western Mail as an example of the surname!!! nell

How lovely!!!!!!! I was browsing TNA website a while back. Reading their blurb about Quaker ancestors. They had a picture example of an early Quaker marriage cert. It was for my 7xg-grandparents, Richard Tyler and Ann Lamb who married in 1694! Merry

Thanks for sharing that - it may make the rest of us jealous, but it sparks the idea that we, too, might get a bonus like that one day! ;-) Christine
