Thank you both.
Kate, that's interesting. I stopped looking when I discovered that Jane Whewell's grandfather was Moses Whewell, but your find opens up a new line that is perfectly feasible.
Merry, I think my contact is wanting to be a descendant of Owd Timothy. The Pole Lane census is extremely helpful, but as I have found to my cost, has often been tweaked to suit, by those who are passing on the information. When I eventually looked at the originals many years ago I could not see a lot of the family groups that have since been alleged, some of which are correct, some which are not.
