William, This is a fascinating story about the body snachers I will check try to check it out.
I am always glad to receive any information on any branch of the Gribbin family but unfortunately there are very few records prior to 1850 when the state registers started. Lots of the church records were destroyed and it was only because of the work of the LDS that so many were saved. I am trying to connect all the family branches. I think I have your address. Does 65 Hedgehope make a connection? My niece Deirdre, the composer lived in NE13 until she married in 1999 My E_mail(
tonyjgribbin@eircom.net) or confirm the address and I will write to you. Tony
