Hi Mark !
Nivard's suggestion (below) is a very good one as the word will spread
around East Anglia much more quickly ! - and one county that you should
definitely look at is Essex, as the well-known thriller writer Bernard
CORNWELL came from there ! That is why he uses the "South Essex Regiment"
in his "Sharpe" series of books and the TV series which developed from it.
I also have a distant relative in my Family Tree who came from Essex and
whose maiden name was CORNWELL !
Good Hunting ! Best Wishes ! Roger.
