Hi Dave,
I found your old posting...hope you don't mind me contacting you. I am searching for my Shorland family from Somerset...particularly interested in a Shorland/Jamaican connection to confirm an old folk-lore story we have of my ancestor,Betty Shorland 1775, being the daughter of a plantation owner, but can't confirm a father's name. Any ideas? Betty married William Aplin in 1802, and we think that her family were connected to the Browns and the Drews of Somerset. Any info would be just great.
Many thanks Dave
