Hello, Rick.

I gather from your postings on this board that you descend from John Kerruish and Ann Maltby, as does Chell Lodge. From Chell I obtained a copy of part of one of Constance Radcliffe’s custom-made family trees. That was of Ewan Kerruish, a younger son of the Cardle line, and Margaret Kermode. Constance wrote her trees out on foolscap (8in x 13in) until there was no more foolscap to be had. This copy has unfortunately been truncated to A4 length, with both ends missing. I am wondering whether the custom-made tree that Constance made for you covers the same family.

I am connected to you, and so is Sue, through Margaret Kermode’s mother in law, Joney Kerruish, of the Booilevelt family that we have all been studying.

I would be grateful if you would contact me off the board. My e-mail address, modified in the usual way, is pjallen at btinternet.com. We should both be able to help each other on Kerruish research.
